This is fantastic!  I got my brand new Vaio Z 1390S (1920x1080) just over a
week ago, and now it is working so nicely in Linux.

 - Installed from the Ubuntu 10.10 dvd
 - Can boot the system into X with the "nomodeset" grub option and
   "recovery" graphics mode
 - Followed your simple steps to install your .deb's and update grub

Now sleep mode works!  and brightness settings with your /sys controls!  I'm
in 1920x1080 graphics using the intel card.  Easy as pie!  Thank you so much
for all your hard work.

I haven't tried using the nvidia card yet, but I don't really care to.  Is
it still draining power even while the intel card is selected?  Oh well.
Also, pm-hibernate just seems to turn the machine off, but I haven't really
looked into that yet either.
