acpi lets you choose what happens when the lid closes. enabling acpi
(and disabling apm!) will get rid of this terrible default behaviour

the clock is set to 1200 when ac power is unplugged at boot time. acpi
allows you to change the speed whenever you want.

there is a asus patch[1] upon the standard acpi patch to take care of
this, it will also allow you to program the mail/network leds in front

I went through everything you descibed :-)
what solved most problems for me was to download a vanilla kernel from
any kernel.org mirror and applying the acpi patch[2] to it. because
debian patches the acpi part of the kernel a little different, I haven't
been able to get full acpi support with the debian kernel-source package
(the patch fails)
