It's a Brazilian VAIO model, not sure - whether it's available in America but in Brazil it's _very_ popular. - Right from the start after installing Ubuntu 8.04 I noticed that *only* - the volume and Scroll Lock Fn-keys work. None of the others does - anything. + whether it's available in America but in Brazil it's very popular.
