I reported the problem on this ML but not on Ubuntu issues system. But it look related to kernel (or some patch) than the specific distribution. http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg02814.html
I got the same problem: I can't use sony-acpid anymore for lack of kernel support to light sensor. The sony-vaio-zseries doesn't compile on kernel 3.8 (official Ubuntu 13.04 kernel). I have to figure out how disable nvidia card (I always use the intel one) but it should be doable with bumblebee. Any other vanilla-kernel way?
