That's true, thanks. > how did you find out that it was the kernel-module (which I can not yet > really believe)? Because of problems with the switch to the right xorg.conf, I decided to see what happens when a switch-x-to.conf script is loading. At the beginning of the script, I added these lines: modinfo $mod >/tmp/module.test cat /sys/devices/platform/sony-laptop/speed_stamina >/tmp/switch.test Then I saw that the sony-laptop module is loaded, but the second command return an empty string, and as a result - xorg.conf is always points to default (INTEL) config. However, once the system has booted, the same command returns the correct status of the switch. Perhaps the reason is the settings of my computer. I use VAIO VGN-Z21MRN, BIOS is R2168M3 with unlocked "advanced settings". The only difference from the standard BIOS settings, that option "VGA Switching" is set to "static". Ie I do not need to use "acpi_osi =! Windows 2006" hack, because system is started by default in this mode. However, in theory, this should not affect the switch. In any case, you're right that the string "grep -qs speed /sys/devices/platform/sony-laptop/speed_stamina &&" can be removed from the script, and this solve my problem.
