Tonight I took some time and compiled emacs22 for my eeepc. After a little trial and error, here were my steps:
- Download emacs
- Add non-asus package repositories
- sudo apt-get install build-essential
- sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev
- sudo apt-get install xlibs-dev (if you want to emacs to use X)
- unpack emacs tarball
- ./configure
- make (took about 6 minutes)
- sudo make-install
- go to sleep

Just an update for fellow travelers: xlibs-dev did not install on my stock eeepc 900 because of a dependency conflict with an asus-specific version of xrandr.

Maybe somebody knows how to get xlibs-dev on an eeepc 900?
I cannot figure it out…
