Actually credits for the "acpi_osi=" go to Michael. I did not patch the bios (no need for this anymore). I am now using a VPCZ11 with a Stock Ubuntu 10.10 kernel (2.6.35-24-generic) with the following options in grub: "quiet splash i8042.nopnp i8042.reset i8042.nomux i8042.noloop acpi_osi="
What now works: - NVidia works (I am using latest NVidia driver from the NVidia site) - Resume works - Microphone works What I did not try: - intel video with stock kernel (not a priority for me since I want NVidia all the time for its performance. - HDMI out What does not work: - Brightness control - I am trying to use an Apple Magic Mouse (Bluetooth), but that keeps causing the bluetooth driver to crash (not sure). Probably when the mouse wants to go to sleep for a bit. I need to switch off wireless with the hardware switch on the front to reconnect the mouse. Very annoying. I only have one Bluetooth device connected. dmesg tells me this: " [ 2495.875694] usb 1-1.6: USB disconnect, address 20 [ 2495.875720] btusb_intr_complete: hci0 urb ffff8801315316c0 failed to resubmit (19) [ 2495.875784] btusb_bulk_complete: hci0 urb ffff880131531cc0 failed to resubmit (19) [ 2495.875793] btusb_bulk_complete: hci0 urb ffff88014479f0c0 failed to resubmit (19) [ 2495.875913] btusb_send_frame: hci0 urb ffff8800736ca600 submission failed [ 2496.120437] hub 1-1:1.0: hub_port_status failed (err = -32) [ 2496.120446] hub 1-1:1.0: connect-debounce failed, port 6 disabled " I am almost a happy Vaio owner...
