Ubuntu 9.10 on Sony Vaio P (P11Z) - FULLY working GMA500/WWAN/WLAN/Sleep

There are already tutorials to get compiz working, WWAN, someone mentioned wireless is kinda sketchy and so on... why this tutorial?
I didn't find a complete one that adresses everything that's not working like it should when you install a fresh Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala). And perhaps it's useful for someone else...

What's not working out of the box but after these instructions:
- accelerated 2d/3d graphics (intel gma 500 poulsbo) with compiz
- WWAN (with LiveCD it was there, once installed -> gone)
- Sleep / Hibernation (when wireless is turned on it won't wake up)
- WLAN (out of the box it works, but with a lot of hickups and interrupts)
- random system freezes
*notice* didn't test GPS. since the WWAN module should be working after these steps, GPS should also be enabled.

edit: forgot to mention that i didn't try the microphone. if it doesn't work try this:

first, make sure to connect your VGA/LAN-dongle (works out of the box) to your Vaio P to get an internet-connection in recovery mode (wireless is not trustful at this state).


GMA500:
*notice*
i did it with the default ubuntu 9.10 kernel 2.6.3.1-14
*notice*


- boot into recovery mode (ESC while GRUB loads)
- add some repositories

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gma500/ppa && sudo apt-get update

- install the following

$ sudo apt-get install libdrm-poulsbo1 poulsbo-config poulsbo-driver-2d poulsbo-driver-3d psb-firmware psb-kernel-headers psb-modules xpsb-glx psb-kernel-source

$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure psb-kernel-source 

- prepare grub bootloader

$ sudo nano /etc/default/grub

  search for GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT and change it to something like this (1500 in case you have 2GB RAM minus some megabytes reserved for the GMA500):

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash mem=1500mb acpi_osi=Linux"

$ sudo update-grub

- prevent module i915 to laod

$ sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

- insert following line:

blacklist i915

- configure xorg.conf:

$ sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf

  it should look like this:

Section "Device"

    Identifier "GMA500"

    Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"

    Option "DRI" "on"

    Option "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy"

    Option "IgnoreACPI" "yes"

    Driver "psb"

EndSection

Section "DRI"

    Mode 0666

EndSection

- configure compiz to load with the GMA500:

$ sudo nano /usr/bin/compiz

   search for WHITELIST and change it to something like this:

WHITELIST=”psb nvidia intel ati radeon i810 fglrx”

WWAN:
- download and extract the driver for the z-series (attention to your kernel)

http://www.logic.at/people/preining/software/

- install module

$ cd /path/where/you/extracted/

$ sudo make

$ sudo make install

Sleep:
- now we want to disable wireless before going to sleep / hibernation because of it won't wake up otherwise
- configure sleep.sh / hibernate.sh script:

$ sudo nano /etc/acpi/sleep.sh

  insert the following line at the beginning:

iwconfig wlan0 txpower off

-  do the same with /etc/acpi/hibernate.sh




WLAN:
- download and extract the legacy drivers

http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Download/stable/    (i used version 2.6.32-rc5)

- build and install

$ cd /path/to/compat-wireless-2.6.32-rc5

$ ./scripts/driver-select ath9k

$ make

$ sudo make install

$ sudo reboot or unload/load your wireless drivers

DONE!


edit2 - mplayer:
to get mplayer working with va api, this tutorial did it for me:
http://www.loggn.de/ubuntu-mplayer-inkl-smplayer-mit-vaapi-unterstutzung/

note: be sure you disable the screenshot feature in smplayer!

Scrolling with Trackpoint:
create a new file /etc/hal/fdi/policy/mouse-wheel.fdi and post in there the following:

(have to insert text here)


edit3 - mplayer browser plug-in:Flash plugin replacement for Firefox
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsVideoCardsPoulsbo/
(for all Ubuntu releases):

* install gnome-mplayer and gecko-mediaplayer

* tune gnome-mplayer settings like the following screenshots:

(This should already be automatically done by the gnome-mplayer package from the gma500 repository)

* install this firefox addons: http://flvideoreplacer-extension.blogspot.com/
