I've tryed both FreeBSD-6.2 and FreeBSD7-BETA3. My dumped asl is compilable by iasl without any errors. i've tryed change OS name to Linux (it exists in asl), and different Windows names. Result always was the same. > <http://akson.sgh.waw.pl/%7Esaper/FreeBSD/acpi/sony.asl>The strange thing > about this machine is that it has two graphic cards on > board selected using a special switch that works only at system boot. > In "speed" position NVidia GeForce 7400 card is used, in "stamina" > position standard Intel 950 from the chipset.

By the way, it seems that Windows always loads both drivers (at least services of nvidia and intel video cards always are loaded), but changing of mode (stamina/speed) also needs reboot. There are also such differences from some other VAIO models - TPM (Trusted platform module) and web-camera (AFAIK, connected internally through USB). There is no also ACPI driver for SPIC (Sony Programmable Input/Output), but exists /sys/i386/isa/spic.c, which supports type 1 and type 2 laptops (SZ4 is type 3 as says Linux driver). But I also think, problem is in two graphics cards. I've compiled kernel practically without statically linked modules and unloaded all firewire, WiFi, Ethernet and etc related, before going to S5, but was not able to power off correctly (the only way to power off - switch off power cord and plug off battery. Or use shutdown -h, then power off manually by pressing and holding power button. But in last case, HDD is not correctly parked). When nVidia GeForce is offed ("stamina" mode) ACPI driver writes such message: "can't evaluate \_SB_.PCI0.GFX0.LCD_.DCS - AE_NOT_FOUND" --- Best regards, Alexey
