Yes, that's what you asked, and here's what I said before:

Built from source? Newest 2.6.  I'd start playing with a 2.6.14pre
version because 2.6.14 should be out soon.  Any version from 2.6.10 up
is pretty good.

But heck, if you're running a decently-maintained distro, just
use the latest precompiled kernel from that.  It's tested, and the
ACPI and sonypi drivers should be good enough.  You'll need the new
module-init-tools, is all.  

Just for laffs, try a stock Slackware 2.6 kernel.  The drivers you
need should be included, no custom kernel needed.

BTW, what did your vendor say?  How about Google?

Nobody here's paid to do this,
