Hi all, I have a new VPCZ13AFJ and got pretty much everything to work: fakeraid, keyboard, trackpad, graphics and sound. My BIOS is patched, switching is set to static in the advanced menu and the switch is set to Speed.
Now just one thing is killing me: *how to lower the backlight power on this machine ?* I tried the script which created "sony-nvidia-brightness-down" and "sony-nvidia-brightness-up" in my /etc/acpi/events/. Well that's good, except that these script call "nvclock -S -5" which does *not* work on my system ! When I run "nvclock -S -5" I get: Unhandled init script entry with id '' at 6fab (....) Unhandled init script entry with id '' at 02d4 Error! Smartdimmer is only supported on certain (HP/Samsung/Sony/Zepto) laptops using a Geforce 6200/7x00Go/8x00Go. If you want support on your laptop contact the author. My version of nvclock is: sys-power/nvclock-9999 which is the CVS version ! I tried writing to /proc/acpi/video/DGPU/LCD/brightness but I get "Invalid argument". I tried writing to /sys/devices/virtual/backlight/sony/brightness which has no visible effect. Brightness is still at maximum. I tried to compile and "make install" the "sony-laptop-zseries-0.9np7.tar.gz", then put "options sony-laptop speed_stamina=3" into /etc/modprobe.d/sony-laptop.conf and rebooted. No visible improvement either. Any insight would be *very* welcome ! Thanks, Joël
