If interested= =20 how, please go to www.celifornia.com/documents/sonyvaio.html But I have got one problem. If I try the suspend with the 2.6.11 kernel tha= t I=20 have, it wil do it beautifuly, but it will not resume from suspend no matte= r=20 what I do. I find it googling, that I need to pass a special boot parameter= =20 with Grub, that looks like this acpi_sleep=3Ds3_bios After all my Grub entry looks like this: title =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.11 root =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0(hd0,1) kernel =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.11 root=3D/dev/hda2 ro acpi_sle= ep=3Ds3_bios initrd =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0/boot/initrd.img-2.6.11 savedefault boot Now, I can suspend and resume with the script I wrote for it, but even whil= e=20 suspended, the screen wont turn 100% off. If I tilt in in a way, about=20 160degree angle, I can see some text on the screen. Of course I can barely= =20 see it, but I can for Christ`s sake, while it should be off. For an=20 "untrained" eye it seems the screen is black of course, but I got suspiciou= s=20 after a few days of being able to suspend, as the laptop wasnt 100% quiet.= =20 The screen is making a little, very very little scratching noise, that I=20 cannot really describe its more like an "electric" noise. Its bugging me, a= s=20 it must be using some of my battery, while it should not be using anything= =20 other than what the RAM needs to not loose its stored memory. Thanks for helping, and let me know if you need any other log or files from= my=20 lappy.
