Ubuntu 11.10 / Vaio Y series / VPCY11S1E
Working 3rd day with the new distro. Finding so far:
- backlight / screen brightness is not working. Solution remains the same, as with previous Ubuntu distros (here).
- USB ports are dead on weak up from suspend.
- Virtualbox running WinXP guest machine drops current session after weak up from suspend.
- The display GUI manager works OK except one sequence: after switching from laptop screen to external screen, the latter view is scrambled. If both screen, on laptop and the external are on, there is not problem. Solution: use xrandr to manipulate output of Xserver.
- Sound output to on-board speakers do not switch off if headphones are plugged in.
