Everything works except keyboard backlight. But this can be reenabled by calling:
sudo sh -c ‘echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/sony-laptop/kbd_backlight’

YEAHHH!
Yesterday in the morning I got my new notebook – it’s a nice Sony Z 11 :). That one includes an i5, nvidia 330M, 6Gb memory, and 192Gb SSD (three with 64Gb).
First thing i did was to remove the includes windows 7. Next step was to install the current kubuntu 10.04 – that part was a bit troublesome but it’s working by now. Here a small howto to get it running (thanks to Frederik Questier):
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kernel-ppa/pre-proposed/ubuntu karmic main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/kernel-ppa/pre-proposed/ubuntu karmic main
and install an older kernel with:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install linux-image-2.6.31-20-generic linux-backports-modules-karmic-generic linux-backports-modules-2.6.31-20-generic linux-headers-2.6.31-20-generic linux-backports-modules-alsa-2.6.31-20-generic
Thats it for me 🙂
Now i have a running System including: Full HD Resulution + VGA (haven’t tested HDMI yet), Sound, CD/DVD Drive, WLan, LAN and Backlight of the Keyboard 🙂
