Dear Sony Vaio Z Listserv, I have a sony Vaio VGN-Z590 with the nvidia 9300M GS.
I just installed Ubuntu natty 11.04 and I tried to follow the same method (janitor script with ubuntu-x PPA for the latest drivers) I used to get everything working in maverick 10.10 but it's not working now. The kernel command windows 2006 appears to have no effect at all. The speed/stamina light also seems to behave differently only lighting later during boot and only the stamina light. If I boot in stamina it seems to work but lspci seems to indicate the nvidia card is still running although nvidia-settings reports it isn't. Booting in speed mode either hangs or ends up in stamina mode. I've used the latest nvidia drives from the ubuntu-x PPA. I've also tried to get the latest kernel from the kernel PPA but this didn't appear to solve anything. I tried to build and install the latest sony-laptop 0.9np8pre1 but I don't really know if that has had an effect. Does anyone have any idea how to get things working again?
