[Eva Brucherseifer <eva.brucherseifer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

just uploaded: 
updated version of the patched sony-laptop module with all merges and backport 
to kernel 2.6.27.19-3.2-pae

added some test results to the log at  
http://www.basyskom.org/~eva/log_installation_vaio_z21vnx.html

we are on a good path...

I am playing around with the fingerprint sensor now, but not real success so 
far :-(
