[suse-laptop] Creation of a linux-sony-z1 mailing list
Hi,
A few of happy owners of a Sony Z1 laptop having more or less
successfully installed Linux on it have decided recently to create a
mailing list specific to Sony Z1 series.
Even Sony laptops have different hardwares so we think that it might be
helpful to improve our specific knowledge, times to times, when new
kernels or softwares allow this specific hardware to work.
Most of the first subscribers to the list have already a web page
accessible from the http://tuxmobil.org/sony.html web site and there are
already other mailing lists concerning sony and laptop and at least
linux-sony@insue.com, linux-laptop@mobile.org, debianlaptop and
suse-laptop (Ich weiss dass Ich auf Deutch schreiben sollen hätte).
Thus, information is not unique but there are many Linux distros and
various currently used kernels, so being more specific on the hardware
could help.
Archives are publicly accessible at
http://listes.ined.fr/wws/arc/linux-sony-z1
You are welcome to subscribe by sending a simple mail to
linux-sony-z1-subscribe@listes.ined.fr (and unsubscribing by sending a
mail to linux-sony-z1-unsubscribe@listes.ined.fr) and once your
subscription is confirmed by posting at linux-sony-z1@listes.ined.fr
ACPI has made a lot of progress on kernel 2.6 and if suspend to ram (S3)
is still not there on Sony laptops, some people have suspend to disk
(S4) running with the latest kernel (2.6.7) and latest swsusp2 patches
(96 or 100 not 97 or 98).
Also, forthcoming Alps patch lets you type on your keyboard safely.
Without the synaptics software and when your hands touch the pad
inadvertently, the cursor jumps somewhere into your text buffer. Now,
you can have the same comfort than if you had a synaptic pad and can use
the "auto-dev" protocol of XFree instead of the former "event" protocol.
This "event" protocol required a fixed event number for the pad but this
event number was varying according to other devices plugged and after
suspending/resuming.
It is true that such questions are not specific to Sony Z1 but others
like the battery duration (3, 4 or 5(?) hours) are.
The list will end when all the hardware will be working successfully and
we hope that it will be very soon.
Hoping that some of you will also subscribe to this more specific list.
Cheers,
