Current Issues

Didn't test with developer release, with 7.10 (Gutsy):

  • Fn brightness adjust keys don't work
  • Compiz refuses to load. If forced, - works but breaks video playback
  • Suspend/Resume doesn't work.
  • When adapter is plugged in, notification for brightness change shows up (attached to wrong event???)
  • Battery charge estimation may be somewhat off, laptop turned off while status widget reported ~5% left

Here are sony-specific modules that got loaded by default:

$lsmod | grep sony
sony_laptop            32088  0 
sonypi                 23960  0 
sony_acpi               6412  0

Mostly usable, inability to hibernate is probably the biggest issue.
