> The problem appears at least on two models (Sony Vaio FW and Sony Vaio VGN-NS11S). So I really don't agree with you "one report, from one user, with one configuration, on one controller, using one firmware set" statement, Alan. Thanks - yours was the only one I had seen references too. I don't spend my days reading the Ubuntu forums. > (where issues like this have not been fixed yet). Its probably a better idea to buy a computer that appears to work in the way it is expected yes. However there is more to making a good quality OS than running around flapping at every warped piece of hardware we meet. It would be good if this works but it would also be good to know therefore why it happens to work in Vista - are the delays longer, are they clearing some other undefined command bits that the spec says don't matter etc. Simply saying 'oh it didn't work lets just pretend we don't care' isn't always a good idea, particuarly when the worst case failure for it on other devices where it indicates a real failing might be corruption of user data. Yes - I'd like it to just work, but I'd like it to just work without breaking anything else, without adding device specific special cases and ideally in a way that makes other stuff that is similarly odd just work too.
