Notes
To get hardware headphones switch working (and headphones jack working in general), you have to add model=vaio parameter to snd_hda_intel module. Create file /etc/modprobe.d/sony-laptop and add to it:
- option snd-hda-intel model=vaio
To get working backlight control in Intrepid, you have to set BACKLIGHT_CONTROL property to native (or any other value but kernel, which is unfortunately default). You can do that using:
- xrandr --output LVDS --set BACKLIGHT_CONTROL native
Then, in intrepid, it should start to work.
Last time i tried bluetooth, it needs reset first time after boot. You can do that by addding to /etc/modprobe.d/sony-laptop:
- options hci-usb reset=1
I believe you can also reset it by hand using
- sudo hciconfig hci0 reset
