    Hi,

    I am about to blow the dust off my old VPCZ1 and put Ubuntu 14.04 on it, when it comes out. My concern however, is with being able to turn off unused components to save battery power.

    Currently, I use 'vaiopower' on my TZ21, but it is not compatible with the VPCZ1. Does anyone know how I can turn off the DVD, BT, WWAN, etc..?
