Sorry, I'm not sure I follow; which of the two issues were you asking about regarding function before Precise?
I've really only been a user since Precise, if I remember correctly. Suspend and Hibernate have never both functioned. At various points, using scripts and tricks (mostly kernel module settings a bit over my head picked up from various forums and ctrl-c ctrl-v'd), I have been able to temporarily rig one or othe other to work. For a while, I think during Precise or Quantal, I could suspennd but not hibernate. Under Raring, for the last few months of the release anyway, after a lot more time spent fiddling, I could hibernate, but suspend never worked. Since I did a fresh install of Saucy, neither has ever worked. The people here ( https://code.google.com/p/vaio-f11-linux/ ) spent some time trying to make workarounds, mostly active from 2010-2011. The impression that I get is that most of this no longer works in later kernels (which maybe have been modified to supposedly provide better native support?) and that the population of Vaio users now has some whose machines' power modes work and others (like me) who have mostly just been driven to give up. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1238097 Title: Sony Corporation VPCF119HX suspend/resume failure non-free: nvidia Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: This is an ongoing problem that I have had ever since 12.04.
