Hi Alexandre, where did you modify the acpi=ht? Grub-Menu? I am relativly new to Linux but got my ubuntu setup so far that it does everything except for booting with the nvidia card on after a shutdown from ubuntu. At the moment I let it boot for 3-5 sec. into WinXP and the do a cold reboot which reenables the nvidia-card (and LED). I would be happy if you could help me. For the statistics: Everything works fine on my VGN-Z21MN except : *nvidia after rebbot (see above) *SD-Card-Slot *AVCRP with my bluetooth Headset (a2dp works)
Haven't Tested: *Mic *MS-Slot Thank you, Johannes > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: "Alexandre Kaspar" <alexandre.kas...@epfl.ch> > Gesendet: 08.05.09 00:05:32 > An: Chris Down <feyd2b...@gmail.com> > CC: sony-vaio-z-series@lists.launchpad.net > Betreff: Re: [Sony-vaio-z-series] vaio z nvidia > Note : sorry, something got wrong with firefox or I did something > wrong and the mail was sent too soon... > > Hi > > Chris Down <feyd2b...@gmail.com> a écrit : > > > 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.
