This will be a shot in the dark recommendation as I don't have a Sony Viao or run Ubuntu 10.04 on my Netbooks. Both EEEPCs. My touchpad did not work on my EEEPC 701 SD after I upgraded my kernels (2.6.34 and 2..6.35) in AntiX 8.5 (which is basically Debian like Ubuntu).

What I did to fix my touchpad without editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf was

I fixed it by making a text file in (use gksu nautilus in terminal for you Ubuntu users)

/etc/modprobe.d

Named it

psmouse.conf

whiich left me

/etc/modprobe.d/psmouse.conf

typed in it

options psmouse proto=imps

Reeboot
Now tap works in Liqourix Kerne and custom kernel l on EEEPC 701SD. Can't say if this will work for you. You can always delete /etc/modprobe.d/psmouse.conf if it doesn't work for you.

For sound. I had most sound working except for mic in my alsamixer. I ended up having to edit

/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

to fix that issue also. You will have to google your model Laptop including Ubuntu /etc/modprobe.d to see what you can find to set sound parameters in alsamixer for your gear.

Another Ubuntu resource is this thread below.
ALSA Upgrade Script - Ubuntu Forums
read the whole thread. It's a long one I know.

Hmmm...I tried doing that...
but it didnt work....
For sound I tried to install some new packages of ALSAMixer....

Still no use....
Lets see...when can I fix this thing...I put the same query in Novell Bugzilla for Suse 11.3...and i got a reply from some expert guy.....that this has been fixed.....
But it was too technical to handle.....

Anyways...thanks....
