I used gentoo with this laptop.
As for now you can fetch my kernel config for kernel 2.6.10-gentoo-r6 (I've compiled in a lot of modules just because the laptop needs a lot of nerdish hw)
Everything works except:
  • irda ( I didn't tryied too much)
  • sd flash reader(I don't know which chipset is inside it)
    • I never tryied modem and cdwriter
    I suggest using:
  • speedfreq ( a daemon to control the cpu speed) http://www.goop.org/~jeremy/speedfreq/
  • acpi4asus ( Acpi daemon to control ASUS Laptop Hotkeys ) http://sourceforge.net/projects/acpi4asus
