They work well also in my Ubuntu Jaunty (beta) using the official kernel
shipped by Ubuntu (2.6.28) with additional sony-laptop 0.8 module. Intel
graphics card works well, suspend/hibernate is fantastic and all fn-keys
(except zoom+ and zoom-) works out-off-the-box without any
configuration. I have had just a couple of freezes.

What improovements could I have with a kernel 2.6.29?
