Hi,

I'm the author of this page, and I'm pretty surprised to see my URL
in this mailing list. As described by other mail, this page is
outdated. I must catch up with recent -CURRENT, but I'm not using this
Z505 now because my wife is using Windows on it. ;-)
At that time(2000-07-28), many patches were required, but now all
patches are merged into -CURRENT and -STABLE. Thanks to all FreeBSD
folks!

Recent laptops doesn't have real APM support, so your Z600LEK is
quite different with my Z505NR. As Peter says, you have to use ACPI.
I don't know whether your VAIO's ACPI is fully supported or not, but
try executing

  # acpiconf -s 3 

to get your VAIO sleep(maybe your VAIO supports S3 sleep state).

Recent -CURRENT supports jogdial (though I haven't tested yet).
Please read /sys/i386/conf/NOTES. "device spic" should do the work.
I don't know which userland application supports jogdial, but you
can directly read the value from jogdial.
The source is /sys/i386/isa/spic.c , and the project URL is
http://phantom.cris.net/freebsd/projects/viewproj.php?p_id=3
.

Ah, yes. My Z505NR can't use memory stick device either. This device
is attached to ATA device. But recent VAIO's memory stick reader is
attached to USB mass storage.
From your Z600LEK's dmesg,

it is shown that your memory stick reader is attached to umass0.
Your memory stick reader may work. Plug in your memory stick to the
reader, and just execute

  # camcontrol rescan da

Your memory stick will be attached to /dev/da0s1 or something like that.
Now, I'm using VAIO SR9/K and this VAIO also has memory stick reader
as USB mass storage. I can use it both on 4.3-RELEASE and -CURRENT.

Hope this helps.
