Title:
  laptop-detect does not recognise Sony Vaio laptop

Status in laptop-detect package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: laptop-detect

  I've just upgraded from Intrepid to Jaunty (Ubuntu 9.04). A few things
  broke, one of them is that it seems Ubuntu does not think it's running
  on a laptop anymore.

  wizzu at spirit:~$ laptop-detect -v
  We're not on a laptop (no relevant hint found)

  The installed laptop-detect package version is 0.13.7ubuntu1

  Laptop information:
  bios-version:R0021N3
  system-manufacturer:Sony Corporation
  system-product-name:VGN-TX3XP_B
  system-version:J001QD5V

  Other things no longer working:
  1) getting a message of "CPU frequence scaling unsupported" (I have the CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor applet installed) when I login to X
  2) the Battery Charge Monitor applet no longer showing the battery charge level (says "0:00", and "running on battery" even though I have power connected)
  3) fan running all the time
  4) fn-keys for brightness controll no longer working
  5) touchpad no longer working - I have filed a separate bug 368954 about that

  I am not sure what is the proper package to report a bug against about
  these myriad of symptoms, all of which seem to derive more or less
  from the same source -- Ubuntu not detecting being on a laptop. I'm
  not sure if laptop-detect is authoritative on that.

  On Intrepid, and releases before that (at least Feisty and Hardy),
  there were no problems.

  You can find dmesg etc. files attached to bug 368954 but I can re-
  attach also here on request.
