Well, it doesn't work for me. Still getting unable to copy vbios error on
Nvidia, and only intel graphics works.
boadicea:/home/platyna$ cat /proc/cmdline
BOOT_IMAGE=Linux ro root=801 acpi_osi=!Windows 2006
boadicea:/home/platyna$ cat /etc/modprobe.conf | grep sony
options sony-laptop speed_stamina=3
boadicea:/home/platyna$ cat /etc/default/acpi-support
DOUBLE_CONSOLE_SWITCH=true <-- This is to make scroll in touchpad to work
after hibernation.
Regards.
