Notes
This model is similar to the [:LaptopTestingTeam/SonyVaio_VGN-FS630W:VGN-FS630W] and some of these fixes are taken from there. A lot of other help has been gleaned from [http://www.beyondabstraction.net/sonyfs660/ Beyond Abstraction].
Fixing Reboot: Add reboot=h to your kernel line in the grub menu (/boot/grub/menu.lst): { { { kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.12-10-686 root=/dev/hda1 ro quiet splash reboot=h } } }
Screen: After X starts, I can no longer get the console to display (when you reboot/shutdown or hit Ctrl-Alt-F1, screen goes black. If you have a second monitor plugged in, you can see the console on that screen.) Haven't found a fix. This problem was introduced in Hoary.
External Monitor: Only tested very very briefly. No output while X was up, but console screen appeared during reboot.
Hibernation/Sleep: The system seems to enter these modes correctly, but I have yet to have it successfully return.
FN Keys: Worked after I followed this thread: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-335267-highlight-sonypi.html
Touchpad: Do not have scrolling down side yet. Would also like to disable the touchpad while typing. Haven't figured this out.
