I can't tell for Type1s which are even older). Stelian, out of > curiosity is the C1 the only Type1 or are there more? No, there were other Type1 models, and from what I remember the SNC was present in all older laptops. > 4, 5 and 6: are available through ACPI, those EC hacks were mainly for > ACPI-enabled-but-using-APM older laptops.

The meye driver only supports a very old Vaio picturebook camera (C1VE/C1VN series). I don't have the hardware any longer, and there aren't probably a lot of users for this driver.
