Sony Vaio F11 series.

Hi all! I'm opening this topic because I'm trying to have a 100%  full working laptop, a Sony Vaio F11 series, but I have many problems:
1. Nvidia driver works only if you add these lines

 Option         "ConnectedMonitor" "DFP-0"
    Option         "CustomEDID" "DFP-0: /proc/acpi/video/NGFX/LCD/EDID"

to device section of xorg.conf, but I can't switch from X to bash (ctrl,alt,F1).

2. Brightness works with kde 4 adding this line under the device section of xorg.cong

     Option         "RegistryDwords" "EnableBrightnessControl=1"

, but I can't use fn keys to change it.

3. After I resumed from suspending I have a grey screen  and i can't do nothing,but the system is still running.

4. Cpu fan is always working a lot.

5. I can't use multitouch on my touchpad.

That's all, a lot of problem, I hope someone can help me because I would like to clean my pc as soon as possible from windows.

I put my lspci and xorg below.

Re: Sony Vaio F11 series.

I have just purchased the same laptop, have you managed to get the full functionality working with Archlinux?

Re: Sony Vaio F11 series.

Hi,

I have the same laptop. I can change the brightness with dbus, but I have no brightness control tab in gnome-power-manager.
The brightness applet doesn't work also.

I will do some further research if somebody can give me an advice where to look. (Must be somewhere between D-Bus, HAL and gnome-power-manager)

Regards
Shadow256

PS: I don't have th issues #3 and #4.

Hello linkit, do you have resolved this problem?

Re: Sony Vaio F11 series.

Hi all. I get full working laptop, a Sony Vaio F11 series.

0. Previously configure nvidia driver, in /etc/X11/xorg.conf

   Option         "RegistryDwords" "EnableBrightnessControl=1"

1. Find out the vendor string used by hal:

$ lshal | grep system.hardware.vendor

(E.g.: system.hardware.vendor = 'Sony Corporation )

2. Find out the product string:

$ lshal | grep system.hardware.product

(E.g.: system.hardware.product = 'VPCF113FX' )

3. Type:

sudo vim /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/10-laptop-panel-hardware.fdi

4. Add this line

<match key="/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer:system.hardware.vendor" string="Sony Corporation">
 <match key="/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer:system.hardware.product" contains_outof="VPCF113FX">
   <!-- needed since the acpi video module reports it handle the events, but it don't work on this machines-->
          <merge key="laptop_panel.brightness_in_hardware" type="bool">false</merge>
        </match>
</match>

5. Reboot!

It works on gnome and KDE 4.

Re: Sony Vaio F11 series.

Huge thank you jneyra! I finally got my brightness working on my Vaio F12. It had been a pain in my butt for a month.
