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 [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], 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 [EMAIL PROTECTED] (and unsubscribing by sending a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]) and once your subscription is confirmed by posting at [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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.

Re: processor speed
Look at something like powernowd which makes your CPU varying according to your CPU load and independently of if you run on battery or not (power comsumption is another important question for laptop but for me it has to be solved differenlty than CPU frequency) . Try to install powernowd, it is nice for laptop even if not the unique solution.
