SonyVaioVGN-CR205E

Current Issues

  • OpenGL Direct Rendering supported, but very buggy, likely due to rapidly developing nature of drivers for Intel X3100 video chipset
  • LCD Brightness control keys broken (but Gnome applet works fine)
  • No sleep mode (suspend (S1 or S3) or hibernate) works:

For testing sleep mode, I've tried the default sleep options, every combination of switches in /etc/default/acpi-support, uswsusp, and pm-utils packages. No success with any of them. As well, followed instructions in DebuggingKernelSuspend, and dmesg shows no driver hash matches.
