Actually I don't have any problem with unlocked BIOS. BIOS code isn't modified, only one bit in settings is changed. So I think - everything is fine, no matter what SONY says :) After I changed option "VGA Switching" to "static" - notebook works just as my previous VAIO VGN-SZ. And no, you don't have to do anything, when use different OSes. I successfully install and use Linux, OpenBSD, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and MacOsX86. >> However, in theory, this should not affect the switch. > > Where did you pickup that 'theory'? I have experimented over and over > again, theory is dry ;-) I don't think you can be sure of what is right and what is not, when it comes to computers. Every second BIOS contains errors in the DSDT. So I just assume that everything works as it should, and if it does not - try to fix it ;) > Please write here if you have a better settings-combination as the > default (not speaking about VT-settings) I'm not looking for "better" settings, but "VGA Switching", "Intel VT" related stuff and ability to change hdd controller mode is very helpfull.
