I decided since the release was pretty final now that I'd do a fresh
install on my Vaio Z series.
Natty was running pretty well with little to know problems so I expected
no issues -how wrong I was!

Installation is a breeze the display works this time, I only had to
remove the nvidia drivers to get compiz working on the intel chipset.

Problems arise when rebooting, this sometime seems to be endless or
excessively long. Closing the lid on power should just blank the screen
and return you to the login screen but sometimes the screen freezes with
just the mouse cursor moving, haven't found a way out of this past
switching to a tty and rebooting.

Suspend is pretty hit and miss, mainly miss. Never had an issue with
Natty but Oneiric will frequently hang and fail to suspend.
Seems to be network interfaces keeping it from completing, see exert
from pm-suspend.log:

/etc/pm/sleep.d/10_unattended-upgrades-hibernate suspend suspend:
success.
Running hook /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/49bluetooth suspend suspend:
/usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/49bluetooth suspend suspend: not applicable.
Running hook /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/55NetworkManager suspend suspend:

/usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/55NetworkManager suspend suspend: success.
Running hook /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/60_wpa_supplicant suspend
suspend:

directory
/usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/60_wpa_supplicant suspend suspend: success.
Running hook /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/75modules suspend suspend:
Also, but not a fault of the hardware I can't get sony-acpid to compile,
results in the following:

/sony-acpid$ ./compile
/tmp/ccuZ9FK2.o: In function `handle_acpi_events':
acpi_funcs.c:(.text+0x102): undefined reference to `log'
acpi_funcs.c:(.text+0x127): undefined reference to `log'
acpi_funcs.c:(.text+0x151): undefined reference to `pow'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Someone suggested " go to sa dir and typing > gcc *.c -lm"
but that doesn't work either.

Any suggestions on getting this all to work would be greatly
appreciated!
