Sony Vaio Fit Multi-Flip

[solars]

it's been at least 5 years since I last compiled a Kernel haha, too lazy
but I will look into it, thanks a lot

the current kernel is 3.11 yes
I didn't find anything relevant in /sys/devices/platform
but I cannot grep there, so it's a bit difficult

in the meantime: does anyone know how to use neard and those nfc tools to actually use nfc tags?

[solars]

looks like there is a wifi problem

if I connect to the wifi directly, speedtest.net shows 0.6mbit
if I connect the wifi router (sony accessory) to ethernet, and then to this wifi, speedtest.net shows 0.6mbit
if I connect my tablet to the wifi, then use usb tethering to the laptop, I get 15mbit...

I heard that there are wifi problems with the vaio pro as well..

Problem of not working touchpad and keyboard after suspend:

For touchpad, change /etc/default/grub:

# old: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
# new:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash atkbd.reset"

then run update-grub, reboot
(source)

Keyboard:
create /etc/pm/sleep.d/keyboard_wake_hack-resume:

xinput set-prop 12 "Device Enabled" 0
xinput set-prop 12 "Device Enabled" 1

(you keyboard device id may vary, check xinput)

Hi man-brunner,

Welcome to Ubuntu forums!


Since ID # can change, especially if you plug in another usb device, I'd suggest it would be better to use the "device name" from xinput list (in quotes) for the xinput commands.

Speedtest never gives reel estimation (at least for me, always givin me about 50mb when I know I have 200mb). Download a file you'll see if there is really a difference.
As far as I know the wifi problems on the others vaio were the strength of the signal and the lost of signal.

For multitouch look here. You could try touchegg or easystroke.

what would be very important is a driver/way to control this annoying fan..

[naruto2mars]

You should try pwmconfig to see if it can detect your fan and more importantly stop it.
You need to install lm-sensors to execute the command. If it works, install fancontrol to create a configuration file to control your fan.

[solars]

There is no pwmconfig cmd on my installation or in the lm-sensors package. Only sensors-detect which I used and doesn't return any fans

Edit: seems to be in fancontrol
/usr/sbin/pwmconfig: There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed
