Hi everyone,
I just want to let you know about my plans for sony-laptop-zseries.
And it is quite short, there are no plans to develop and maintain
this piece further on.
Reasons:
* stamina/speed switching
- first I have the feeling that in recent kernels the discrete
graphic card is automatically switched off
I am running 3.4-rc2 and have a manual switch (speed,stamina, NO auto!)
and if I boot in stamina I don't see any nvidia card anymore
- there is bbswitch in the Bumblebee distribution that seems to do
the same things in a more reasonable and safe way. Although I
do not need it (as it seems).
* hardware support (backlight, battery_care)
that would be the only reason to continue, but since recently the
sony-laptop kernel developer has included parts of this functionality
in his dev tree, I am happy with that
Bottom line: There is the current sony-laptop-zseries in the last
version, but I am not sure I will adapt it again in case a change
in kernel forces it.
If someone else want's to take over this from me, fine with me.
Thanks a lot for the fish, and have a nice time
Norbert
