    Hi All,

    I installed openSuse 11.3 on my new Vaio VPC S12C5E. The issue is that I cant get brightness to work at all. Some more info below:

    Nvidia 310m
    kernel 2.6.34-12-desktop

    Would anyone also know how to get the Motion Eye to work? Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for your answer but it seems that the driver sonypi was replaced by sony_laptop which came with my kernel 2.6.34-12-desktop. Apart from that I do not know how to make & install the bz2 motion eye file in the link you sent. Would you know that? Thanks once again....
