AFAIK these features are currently unsupported:
- jog dial, shouldn't be to difficult to make a driver I guess
it might be a PS/2 device and the data stream traceable with 'mev'
from the 'gpm' package
- camera, which is probably an USB device, which doesn't mean
it will work out of the box, but there is a chance
- the display dimming, which is probably a BIOS32 function
- IrDA, there are reports about SIR working, what about FIR?
- modem, I got reports about a working modem, at least for some models
I don't know about
- sound?
- firewire?
- GPS/GSM ??
- memory stick
hint, I would like to have such a machine and work on it ;-)
Or more serious, what about a Linux VAIO Project?
