Nicklas, Hi, new to this list, but can you confirm a couple of things
for me? Before you updated mesa (I am assuming to 7.12-dev) the
external monitor worked? I never tested it before updating the mesa
stack so I have never been able to use an external monitor. Also, did
the new kernel fix any of the other issues, e.g. suspend/resume, power
consumption, birghtness control, tty (ctr+alt+fX)?

Hi,
I'm running with kernel 3.1 RC6 and the issue with going out of
sleep is still present. I did however experiment with upgrading my
mesa stack, but it actually got worse - when I log into gnome with
an external monitor on, it goes blank instead of showing my
desktop....
So i'm very curios to find out if the issue lies in the kernel or
in the mesa stack somewhere.

Hi,
my current conclusion is to update the kernel first.
According to various
people on this list, the Z has the new Intel Sandybridge.
This is at least
causing the X issues. For example Niklas is using
Tumbleweed Suse instead
of the normal Suse, so he also has a kernel 3.0.1. I'll
give it a try and
let you know what it fixes.
As for the xserver-org-input-synaptics patches, I spend
all weekend with
this one. All important parts of these patches are already
included into
suse. I don't know the status without them, but I have
multitouch keyboard
working. Tab + Move works correctly to Drag&Drop. Only the
hardware
buttons don't work correctly. The patches make a new setting
"TouchPadArea" available which is set to 20%, but somehow
it doesn't work.
I change the also newly introduced setting AreaBottomEdge,
but it only
helped a little bit. However, click (hw-button, keeping it
pressed) + drag
does not work.
Actually I read the patches and the sources, I don't think
that
Button-Press+Move works for anybody. If so, please let us
know. I've read
suse, ubuntu and those patches mentioned in the blog
article. Archlinux
has a different patch. Nicklas has Archlinux and he
reported to use the
normal tap workaround.
Best,
Eva

Hi,
I'm using debian sid and I have the same problems as
you, ie:
- i915.modeset=0
- suspend problem
- no sound and no mic
- trackpad issue
- cannot change brightness
I did not test but I gathered some useful informations :
To make sound and mic working you have to build or
install at least
alsa 1.0.24 and maybe for the mic you have to apply a
patch.
To make the clickpad working you have to apply some
patches to
xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
