Hi Alexandre
I hope you don't mind me e-mailing you out of the blue, I got your
e-mail address from the Launchpad forum.
I was wondering if you would mind helping me?......
I'll try since I know it's important to get help for such a problem
and I would really like to get one.
I have a vaio z and am running Fedora 10, Fedora 11 in twenty, odd,
days time.....when it comes out....
I read you were able to get the proprietary nvidia driver to work on
your fed 10 install....
Is it possible you could help me do the same. I have found I can't
install Eva's sony-laptop.c version 0.8 or 0.9....did you install
these to get the 9300 going?
No. I tried to install it, but it didn't work. I got some error :

If not, how did you get it working?, I have broken X so many times
now and reinstalled Fedora multiple times, all with no luck....
I didn't use kmod-nvidia or some rpm package like that.
I used the nvidia installer as .run from nvidia.com website.
In fact, what is strange is that I firstly used the 9300 driver which
worked out-of-the-box. Then I heard it wasn't the good one and tried
the one for notebooks : use Driver Download, Geforce type, 9M Series,
Linux 32bits OS and EN (us) language.
Then, I just run the installer being root and finally the
nvidia-setting script to get a xorg.conf file.
Now, that's sadly not enough to get a nvidia card working. You must
get your switch with a working LED on SPEED mode. If it's not the
case, you can't get your card working.
To get it, I have two different solutions :
- using a boot on XP and then reboot on linux
- using DSL Linux (same thing, boot, reboot)
And then, I use the option acpi=ht on kernel to get the acpi not
uninitializing the switch at reboot.
That's all.
Please help......; ), look forward to hearing from you...
Thanks,
Chris
PS Bernd sent me a copy of his xorg.conf-nvidia which he had working
so I will try that in the mean time....
Ok, here is mine too, but it's a generic xorg file for nvidia :

Hum... did you get the LED on ?
Are you using the kmod-nvidia package instead of the nvidia.com driver ?
Hoping you'll find a solution, have a nice week
