Hello everybody, after several tries I finally managed to fix two out of three issue I had on my Sony Vaio. After I switched to Intel driver I was forced to update my system to STABLE (@Kevin: thanks for the support - I tried to write a set of scripts to download the required VT sources and copy them to the correct folders, but after two nights of work I decided that it was more the efforts than the benefits). Then I recompiled the GENERIC Kernel from STABLE and added the support for VT instead of the original SC and I am now able to switch through different terminals (@all: thanks for suggesting me to remove Vesa and use proper video drivers). Finally I have applied Anthony's patch and the suspend/resume mode works like a charm! The only thing which is now missing is the battery support, but debugging that stuff is definitively out of my skill set! Would you think is it worth trying? Cheers, Daniele. 2014-07-26 19:40 GMT+02:00 Daniele Mazzotti <kappei84@gmail.com>: > Hi Kevin, > > that is a good news but I have a RELEASE therefore if I am not wrong I > should recompile my kernel.
