Sony Vaio FRV37 Laptop
I have a Sony Vaio FRV37 Laptop and have been trying to convert over to linux on it. The only thing that I have not been able to get working properly is Suspend/Hibernation.
Has anyone gotten a Sony FRV series laptop to suspend or hibernate with recent kernels?

Did you check the site Linux On Laptops which I have a link for in my signature?
Many people tell their Linux install success story so other people can benefit from the installs at that site.

Thanks for the reply, I was starting to wonder if anyone was ever going to....  |

Lol, that was me. And ubuntu is the best distro I have tried so far. But suspend and hibernation won't work in it with the latest release. I think on the Hoary RC hibernation worked somewhat.... Can't remember for sure.... |
