Bug is finally RESOLVED, but will not be fixed ! :p

It seem to be a BIOS bug. You have two possibility to patch it. Upgrade/flash the BIOS. Or compile the Linux Kernel with the custom DSDT.

== To upgrade your BIOS ==
Go on the Asus website, download the new BIOS with optionally the BIOS upgrade utility. But keep in mind, there is a little risk to damage your computer !

== Compile Linux Kernel with custom DSTS ==
Download the custom DSDT (attachment). Download the Linux Kernel 2.6.33.1 or newest and utilities in order to compile it. Then follow steps 5, 6 and 7 on this website : http://www.lesswatts.org/projects/acpi/overridingDSDT.php

(Don't forget to place DSDT.hex in the include folder of Linux Kernel source.)
