Hello linux-laptoppers! I notice several people think the Sony works well with hibernation. Although I have had no problems with my PCG-737 running linux, if I leave it alone for more than an hour (running a CPU intensive fluid simulation) first the screen blanker activates and then hibernation occurs. I admit I have not tested it thoroughly (I do not know truly if the simulation completed before hibernation) but bringing the machine back to life is a problem leaving me with a blank screen. A hard reboot followed by fsck being my only solution for this. When I configured RH5.2 I only had 32MB on board, but I still partioned the disk with 130MB hibernation space. Now I have 96MB do I need to recompile the kernel? (2.0.36 I never changed this ever). I still have not been successful using the COMONE 4-way modem card, although at a friends house I was able to dial Demon once (a UK ISP) using minicom. I have not been able to repeat this. Overall I like the Sony VaioNote and was pleased how easily Linux fit onto it. I just need some advice on those 'extras'. Thanks for reading so far, MarkR --------------------------------------------------- PhD student, Room C23, George Begg Building, Department of Mechanical Engineering, UMIST, PO Box 88, Manchester, M60 1QD, United Kingdom -Tel. +44 (161) 200 3162--------------------------------
