Yes. That is because the Windows Versions > XP (Vista, Windows 7) can change between the modes without need to reboot the machine. See this interview with Jun Otsuka, Keiichi Nakayama and Hiroshi Kawada (the brains after this feature) from Sony: http://vaio-online.sony.com/prod_info/series1/z/interview_Z/index_05.html and for that they need exactly the acpi settings which we do not want for the Linux to solve that. I (and not only me) am looking for a solution to do it the same way on Linux like it already is done on the newer windows. It needs some more good ideas and maybe some reverse engeneering.. ;-) Until that issue is solved, you have to boot windows twice to get it work without reboot (crazy, yes I know) > > > > > > > > New Ubuntu 9.10 does not ship with any xorg.conf. > > > > That is right.
