My battery life went way down too after installing linux and I *think*
I have the nvidia card turned off. I used to get 5 hours easily, now I
get 2 if I'm lucky. I'm wondering if Sony did some other power saving
things on the Windows install?
I followed an advice given in the wiki in a
http://linux-on-sony-vaio-z.wikispaces.com/VPCZ1390x started by shosck.one
Now Nvidia is really off and system reports 14W power usage which
translates to 4h-4h20 (screen 100% backlight running firefox, chatzilla,
pidgin and thunderbird)
I'm happy

Hi Zalun,
I haven't tried out microphone yet, but I can managed to get
nearly 4
hours battery life with intel card. Maybe you can tweak it
with the
help of powertop.
Thanks, I don't use lots of software, but I will try powertop.
I do however believe my NVidia is not switched off.
BTW, what desktop environment are you using? I am using kde
and dual
monitor just work out of box.
I use wmii - there is no help with dual screen. However I managed
to make it work with VGA1, I had no luck with HDMI1...

Hi,
I'm trying to use VPCZ1 with Linux Gentoo.
My experience is logged on the Gentoo Forum along with
kernel config and
other specs: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-6643247.html
Right now my biggest concerns are:
* battery life (2 hours)
* secondary screen (xrandr reports the second monitor to be
connected, recognizes it properly, but fails to
display anything)
* muted microphone
Please help
zalun
