| Vaio VGN-S5M | Any | 3D with nvidia driver | Intel audio with ALSA | Yes | Yes, ipw2200bg | -- | Suspend-to-RAM with suspend2 | Untested | Memory stick reader does not work | Everything else (Fn Keys, DVD-RW drive, FireWire...) works without a hitch | 
| Vaio VGN-C2Z | Any | 3D with nvidia driver | Intel audio with ALSA | Yes | Yes, ipw3945 | Modules look fine but due to lack of a Bluetooth client not tested | Suspend-to-RAM with vanilla kernel & linux-ckAUR | Untested | Memory stick reader not tested | Everything else (Fn Keys, DVDRW drive, Firewire...) works without a hitch | 
| Vaio VGN-FS742/W VGN-FS630/W | Kernel 2.6.23.12-3 | i810 | Intel audio with ALSA | e100 | ipw2200 | No | acpi_cpufreq, sonyacpi | Untested | Memory stick might work | Fn keys with FSFN | 
| Vaio VGN-NR320FH | 2008-06 | Intel GMA965/X3100 (xf86-video-intel driver) | Intel audio with ALSA | Do not know, but works out-of-the-box | Atheros AR5006EG/AR242x (madwifi 0.9.4.3844-2) | No | acpi_cpufreq, sony-laptop | Untested | Memory stick might work | Fn keys with sony-laptop and sonypid. Using vgaoption in kernel line in GRUB might give problems with resolution. Pretty cool laptop, everything works out-of-the-box except Fn keys for which I needed to do some research. | 
| Vaio VGN-N130G | 2010 (right now with kernel 2.6.34) | xf86-video-intel driver | Intel audio with ALSA | Do not know, but works out-of-the-box | ipw3945 | No | Untested | Untested | Memory stick might work | The only problem I have had is with the Wi-Fi randomly cutting out ( netcfg -rto reconnect). I think this is a problem with MY laptop, rather than this model in general. |
