Haven't tested suspend/hibernate.Įverything works fine so far (except sony_pi driver). work fine (even with kismet as of the newest ipw2200 drivers/firmware). Everything else (including everything that broke in hoary, such as soundcard) works fine bar the magicgate/memorystick reader (for which I understand there's no linux driver).

This laptop was severely allergic to Hoary, and PCMCIA support caused kernel panics thanks to a broken DVD drive, I installed by booting the Ubuntu kernel from grub4nt, and I disabled pcmcia via a kernel parameter, so I'm not sure if the laptop would install without this. Some Fn keys don't work, possible PCMCIA Issues, no magicgate DAPPER: everything seems to work fine, but acpi. All other thinks seems to work wellīREEZY: LCD Fn-Keys don't work doesn't reboot, needs cold shutdown.

The sony_pi driver doesn't work but I can change screen brightness using sony_acpi driver. Hibernate to disk and ram doesn't work at all. Hibernation misbehaves (display goes berserk on resume)īoot CD with acpi=off See for low memory systemīattery monitor works, but I need to plug-out/plug-in the battery every time to make it work (also a sudo modprobe -r battery / sudo modprobe battery works). Installed without problems, though needed 'LCD Expansion' in Bios. Memory card reader is not working, everything else works great (volume, screen dim), suspend to ram and to disk is brokenĪdd: vga=792 in grub's menu.lst for startup res, install fglrx for ATI drivers, otherwise problem freeįollowing Bios upgrade (V9). The advanced features (circle scrolling, etc.) of the trackpad won't work until the 2.6.11 or 2.6.12 kernel I wrote something myself based off sonypid that I'll try to package and release soon. You'll also need 3rd party software to make the special Fn-keys work like volume, brightness, etc.

Installation report see Įverything works out of the box, however, I suggest installing the newer ipw2200 drivers (version 1.0.2). Fn-Keys not checked.Įverything except for the modem works "out of the box". Suspend to RAM does not function.īoots correctly. Mapping of Fn-keys slightly different to how they are labeled. At least some of the function keys work, Fn-F3 does do a hardware muting of the sound, and Fn-F5 and Fn-F6 darken and lighten the screen respectively. The Xorg server doesn't even display 24 bpp color anyway, so you're actually losing any quality. At 24, all KDE/QT apps have ugly blue vertical lines. Also, the default DisplayDepth should be lowered to 16 from 24 (in the same file).
Like the PCG-F590, "Option 'sw_cursor'" must be added to your X configuration file (/etc/X11/nf in Breezy and higher). If someone knows it, add it(them) here! (see below, added to PCG-F590K to be safe).
In addition, there are occasionally strange goings-on in KDE that i'm sure I could kill with the right option. I needed to add the line "option 'sw_cursor'" to my /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 to get the annoying box off the screen (occurred rarely in Gnome). Fix : add line "option 'sw_cursor'" to /etc/X11/nf in "Device" section Thank You.!! Very Good Sony vaio touchpad update driver.Mouse cursor sometimes displayed as a blurred rectangle.
