Hi Adam :)

That is very interesting:
> Trackpad fix ( no i8042 boot options any more )
I read about this a while ago (in some forum), but never came across any
real patch.
Could you point me to this patch?

> My version of Norbert's sony-laptop np7 module.
All the differences are in this patch:
"sony-laptop-zseries-0.9np7-v3.patch"?

> My ACPI fix for the NVidia hda-intel sound chip when NVidia is disabled
?
This is completely new to me. But our Sony does not have a NVidia
hda-intel sound chip, doesn't it? For me alsamixer talks about "Chip:
Realtek ALC889".
And/Or: Could you also be so kind to point me to this (isolated) patch?

Thanks!

Knuth
