Original Equipment Manufacturer - OEM
If you are looking for drivers, software and service manuals for laptops
and notebooks you may sometimes find similar models branded under a
different name. Especially the
FCC-ID can be helpful to detect the original manufacturer.
Applications / Drivers
- Synaptics touchpad driver for Linux
- Jeff Gerard's NeoFB patch adds FrameBuffer support for 1024x480 PictureBook resolution on NeoMagic based PCG-C1X? models.
- sonyscreen reduces the brightness level of the screen as the charge in the battery falls, with the aim of extending battery life and providing a visual indication of the approximate level of charge left.
- sonyxosd
offers full access to all of the Sony Function Key ("Fn") keyboard combinations available through the sonypi device.
Controls Master Volume and Mute (for both OSS or ALSA sound systems), Processor Speed (requires ACPI support and a Centrino or SpeedStep CPU), Screen Brightness, LCD & VGA Power Down (for ATi Radeon graphics chips), and Disc Eject. Now also supports the "ondemand" power-saving governor on 2.6 kernels.
Graphically displays information and status both in X and in text-consoles(!) - all without disruption, even if the console is scrolling.
-
sonyfxd
is a daemon that will answer the Fn and PPK buttons. Assuming you are running X, it will allow you to change the volume, mute the audio system, and change the brightness of the screen.
-
This is a new
sonyfn handler
, who should eat less CPU.
It uses the event interface to check for a possible hit to the Fn key and then try to figure out what happend.
The side effect is a faster handling.
-
Sony Notebook Control, ACPI Method Analysis:
This page represents the output of some automated scripts that analyse the ACPI DSDT tables of Sony Vaio portable PCs to determine what services the SNC (Sony Notebook Control) device provides.
-
Hacking BIOS and NVRAM:
This project came about as a way to enable the CPU's hardware virtualisation (VT) support which is disabled and locked by the Sony/Phoenix BIOS. VT is very useful for running guest operating systems in virtual machines at close to full speed with host CPU support.
-
VAIOfand
is a Linux system daemon to tame the noisy fans of Sony
VAIO laptops. These fans are controlled directly by the BIOS and therefore
do not allow for standard software management. Moreover, VAIO fans are
usually spinning at considerably higher rates than necessary and so
generate excessive noise. Vaiofand monitors the system temperature and
maintains the fan speed at a user-defined rate by constantly overruling
the settings made by the BIOS. Vaiofand can also make further
adjustments to the fan speed when the temperature reaches user-defined
thresholds.
-
VAIOpower
is a tool for power management of Sony VAIO laptops
and notebooks, and it is intended for all the users who strive to extend
their battery life as much as possible. Vaiopower provides a higher
level interface to the power management options offered by the
sony-laptop kernel module. Additionally, prior to powering a device
down, vaiopower makes sure that the device has been deregistered from
the system correctly, it unloads all corresponding kernel modules and
stops relevant system services. After powering a device back up,
vaiopower restores its previous state. Vaiopower can be invoked
manually, and it is also run automatically during boot when it
disables all devices set by the user.
-
This
kernel module
is an adaption of the original sony-laptop kernel module first made by Eva Brucherseifer and Matthias Welwarsky. It works on the latest kernel and includes support for newer BIOS releases of the Sony Z series, too.
Touchscreen Linux Drivers
Camera, WebCam
JogDial
- Jog-Dial driver
- jogdiald and extra keys support
- Sony Programmable I/O Control Device Driver
- S-Jog for using the Jog Wheel on newer models
- rsjog is a handler for Sony Vaio scrollwheels designed to work with the /dev/sonypi kernel module. The user interface is based on sjog. rsjog is a total rewrite of sjog in ruby, with several additional features.
- Using The Sony Vaio Jogwheel With Perl
- JogMouse
-
XMMS Jogdial Plugin
is an XMMS plugin for the Sony Vaio PCG-C1XS.
It allows the user to use the jogdial to control volume, playback, and the
playlist. It is known to work on PCG-C1XS, but probably also works on other
Sony Vaio C1 series picturebooks with a jogdial.
- sonystat pulls information out from the sonypi device, and displays it in a user friendly way.
- jdmouse - SONY VAIO jogdial event handler
-
sony-laptop driver
(available since Kernel 2.6.21-rc1 and
previously only in -mm as 'sony-acpi') to control brightness, and
powering on/off some devices. In the future this driver is intended to obsolete the
sonypi driver.
-
The
Jogdial Patch
integrates the jogdial package for Sony Vaio Notebooks with
the Imwheel package. This patch makes it possible to use the jogdial (a kind
of mouse wheel which is built into certain Vaio notebooks) in all X
applications to scroll up and down or to deliver arbitrary keystrokes to X
applications. The patch works well with the picturebook Sony Vaio PCG-C1XD and
might work with other notebooks with a jogdial.
