Support for VPCF13Z0E #53

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 

Has any of this work been tested on a VPCF13Z0E ??

I've been able to patch the kernel successfully, on Ubuntu Natty. This has 
given me support for the ambient light sensor and the thermal profile, but I've 
not been able to get the keyboard backlight, special keys or g-sensor working.

However, the ALS started giving me trouble - the left hand portion of my screen 
ended up being dimmed whilst I was using the system, and when I moved my mouse 
in to that area it brightened up again, only to dim the left side of the screen 
again a second or two later. I've had to disable the ALS auto dimming fx now 
because of this.

Also, the thermal profile seems to be only semi-working - I've used the GUI to 
set the fans down to the silent profile, but this only seems to be working some 
of the time.

I'm happy to test things out on my laptop if given instructions on what to do - 
would like to help out where I can.

Will this patch end up in the standard linux kernel at some point?

Thanks for the work on this so far.

Ben

Sorry - forgot to mention I'm using the NVidia 270.41.06 driver.
