Re: new testing release of sony-laptop-zseries 0.9np8pre3

 

It's great to see full functionality finally, shame we don't have
Bumblebee to complete it. I'd like to thank all the contributors for
taking their time to make this happen.

I'm having one issue though, I have VPCZ11C5E and don't get the Lid
behaviour options with sony-laptop-zseries, version 0.9np8pre3. Does
anyone else have this issue?
