Overview of Vaio models and state of support
Model version | Date | Video | Sound | Ethernet | Wireless | Bluetooth | Power management | Modem | Other | Remarks |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Vaio VGN-C2Z | Any | 3D with nvidia driver | Intel audio with ALSA | Yes | Yes, ipw3945 | Modules look fine but due to lack of a Bluetooth client not tested | Suspend-to-RAM with vanilla kernel & linux-ckAUR | Untested | Memory stick reader not tested | Everything else (Fn Keys, DVDRW drive, Firewire...) works without a hitch |
Vaio VGN-NR320FH | 2008-06 | Intel GMA965/X3100 (xf86-video-intel driver) | Intel audio with ALSA | Do not know, but works out-of-the-box | Atheros AR5006EG/AR242x (madwifi 0.9.4.3844-2) | No | acpi_cpufreq, sony-laptop | Untested | Memory stick might work | Fn keys with sony-laptop and sonypid. Using vga option in kernel line in GRUB might give problems with resolution. Pretty cool laptop, everything works out-of-the-box except Fn keys for which I needed to do some research.
