I am testing that, but we are far from having a working thingy,
currently on the sony z11 the nvidia (the second, the speed card) is not
working without acpi/dsdt tricks (but Matthias might correct me).

Matthew, if you have something to test I am, as usual open for any
tests, but I am aways 2 weeks. In these 2 weeks I hope I get back my
z11, it broke the SECOND time in 6 months, harddisc bad sector errors.
I am wondering if SATA link management, laptop tools, etc etc could
interfere with that.

Just a warning for all the Sony guys with Z11, make decent backups,
waiting for ddrescue is a pain. 2 times in 6 month sudden death of hard
disk.

Best wishes

Norbert
