RE: sonypc with Sony Vaio VGN-SZ1VP

[Cacy Rodney <cacy-rodney-cacy@tlen.pl>]

Hello everyone!

I know that the thread is much further but I'd like to inform the 
maintainer (whoever is) that the driver v0.2 (there is v0.3 but in this 
context it is not important) with the updated sony_acpi_values structure 
(enclosed at the end) is working and gives me about 20% of energy 
conservation.
By clear, I have Sony Vaio SZ2.
The cdpower(cdrom),sound,lan files in sony directory can power off 
(_PS3) the relevant devices. To do that

echo 0 >/proc/acpi/sony/cdpower etc.

To ON the devices

echo 1 >/proc/acpi/sony/cdpower etc.

(unfortunately, after the commend sequence the lan card is not 
initialized properly and to use it again the computer must be rebooted - 
but i'm working to change it :))

The acpi methods of SNC are:
