Hello list,
there is an old prefix value in the dmi_scan.c.
Line: 694 (Kernel 2.6.7)
{ sony_vaio_laptop, "Sony Vaio", { /* This is a Sony Vaio laptop
*/
MATCH(DMI_SYS_VENDOR, "Sony Corporation"),
MATCH(DMI_PRODUCT_NAME, "PCG-"),
NO_MATCH, NO_MATCH,
} },
The DMI_PRODUCT_NAME doesnt match on newer vaio notebooks. (The newer
A-series from sony vaio have VGN as product name instead of PCG - older
model)
This is the reason why the sonypi doesnt run on newer vaio notebooks.
Maybe it is better to delete the line MATCH(DMI_PRODUCT_NAME, "PCG-").

It's better to add new DMI entry with MATCH(DMI_PRODUCT_NAME, "VGN-").
