Linux users of Sony Z1 series

[Brouard Nicolas <>]

Thanks a lot Svetljo for version 24.

Unfortunately I got a kernel panic at resuming. It is resuming but the
init process needs a lot of CPU! But sound was resuming ok and most of
thing.

So, currently, my own version 18 (swsusp2 96) is the one I prefer.

I am going walking in the Cevennes for a week...

I hope that the mailing list will work but most people seem to be in
vacations too.

Cheers,

Nicolas
