Hi Nicklas, thank you for your prompt reply! Unfortunately the git-package you provided does not work :-( After the installation I get the message "sh: post_install: Command not found". So I inspected the PKGBUILD file and found out that I have to:
1. depmod -a 2. modprobe sony-laptop after the installation. So I did this manually, but the module does not load. I noticed that you put the module under /lib/modules/..../updates. I did this too, when I compiled and installed the module manually (see my first post). Any ideas? Thanks, Paula ________________________________ Gesendet: 20:53 Donnerstag, 29.September 2011 Betreff: Re: [Sony-vaio-z-series] sony-laptop-module doesn't load automatically on Archlinux Well, I made it today anyway... You can find the module build stuff here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=52773 I suggest that you install "yaourt": https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Yaourt And then it's simply: yaourt -S sony-laptop-zseries-git I can also greatly recommend you that you install the linux-sony kernel from AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=51456 If you haven't done that already :) I'm using it, just with kernel 3.1 RC7 /Nicklas On 2011-09-29 16:50, Paula Cafeld wrote: Hello everybody, > > >today I reinstalled my VGN-Z51 with Archlinux.
