Vaio

Power management/Suspend and hibernate problems

You might have to add the kernel parameter acpi_sleep=nonvs to your bootloader.

Overview of Vaio models and state of support

Model version	Date	Video	Sound	Ethernet	Wireless	Bluetooth	Power management	Modem	Other	Remarks
Vaio VGN-C2Z	2007-07-11	3D with nvidia driver	Intel audio with ALSA	Yes	Yes, ipw3945	Modules look fine but due to lack of a Bluetooth client not tested	Suspend-to-RAM with vanilla kernel & linux-ck^AUR	Untested	Memory stick reader not tested	Everything else (Fn Keys, DVDRW drive, Firewire...) works without a hitch
Vaio VGN-NR320FH	2008-06	Intel GMA965/X3100 (xf86-video-intel driver)	Intel audio with ALSA	Do not know, but works out-of-the-box	Atheros AR5006EG/AR242x (madwifi 0.9.4.3844-2)	No	acpi_cpufreq, sony-laptop	Untested	Memory stick might work	Fn keys with sony-laptop and sonypid. Using `vga` option in kernel line in GRUB might give problems with resolution. Pretty cool laptop, everything works out-of-the-box except Fn keys for which I needed to do some research.
Vaio SV-S1511X9E/B	2018-01-01	nouveau kernel module loads only with option config=NvBios=PLATFORM	Intel audio with ALSA	Yes	Yes	Yes	Suspend-to-RAM perfect. Hibernate untested. Disk spindown untested.	Untested
Vaio SVT13 Touch	2020-01-03	Intel HD Graphics 4000 (xf86-video-intel driver)	Intel audio with ALSA	Yes	Yes	Yes	Suspend to RAM works, both manually and on lid close, temperature, battery level work, fan speed control unsupported by hardware	Not available	SD card reader works, Memory Stick untested, touch works	Action keys seem to work, but only WEB is mapped to browser, ASSIST sends tilde(~) and VAIO does nothing. Fn keys work, but touchpad disable seems to do nothing
