Hi Sebastian, First of all, thank you for your help.
Regarding the SPEED mode, I followed your procedure but I did not notice any change in the display resolution. Furthermore, the nomodeset option made WIFI not work. Finally I removed this option and installed the NVIDIA 195 driver. This solved the problem. Regarding the STAMINA mode (INTEL graphics device) do you have any suggestion ?

To make the nvidia work you will need to boot an older kernel (say 2.6.26 or so) with the stamina switch set to speed first. Then reboot the machine (the speed led should be on now) into a newer kernel with kerneloption nomodeset You should use grub-legacy instead of grub2. Once you've booted the system with the speed-led on an nomodeset you should be able to start the X with the closed-source nvidia driver, regards Sebastian _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~sony-vaio-z-series Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~sony-vaio-z-series More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
