Title:
  Sony VAIO (VGN-BX560B) fails to suspend

Status in “acpi-support” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Sony VAIO with latest BIOS (R0190X5) fails to suspend and hibernate.
  When attempting it switches away from X, all three keyboard status
  lights flash once, then all I'm left with is a blinking cursor at the
  top left of the screen.  Fan still runs and all lights still look like
  they did when the systems was running.

  reset is needed to make the system useful again.

  hibernate does recover the state.

  the issue seems to be that the power is not turned off and fans,
  screen and possibly other things are still running.

  I followed the suggestions at
  http://people.freedesktop.org/~hughsient/quirk/quirk-suspend-
  advanced.html and non of the kernel options produced much different
  results.   vga=792 seemed to turn the display off but the fan was
  still running.

  This was the case for Hardy and now Intrepid.  It's worth noting that
  at one point with kernel 2.6.8 suspend to ram worked just fine.
