Hi everyone, I'm running Natty on a Z11 (VPCZ11A7E), and I first want to thank everyone on this list for all the valuable information coming through!
I put the "acpi_osi=" on the boot line, which successfully disables the unused graphics card (and saves a lot of battery when in stamina mode). Stamina mode working like a charm :-). Before that I had tried using nVidia card with the drivers installed, but ran into the same problem as John did : > (However, installing the Nvidia drivers [partially] disabled my Intel > drivers; so now with the 3-way switch on "stamina," I have to start X > manually (xinit), and I don't get any GLX goodness: the xorg log says > "Failed to initialize GLX extension - Compatible NVIDIA X driver not > found". Pretty sure I'll sort this out -- one of these weekends...) Uninstalling the nVidia drivers fixed stamina mode (though no more accel in Speed mode). I think the issue comes from the graphic libraries getting relinked when a graphics driver is installed (libGLU.so.* and libGL.so.* in /usr/lib/ and /usr/lib/mesa/). Adam's script solves this problem I believe (by linking the correct library at boot-time). See his readme here <http://www.voip-x.co.uk/files/adam/IMPORTANT_README>, skipping the parts about his kernel and just reading about the switching script. I read somewhere on this list that his script checks that his kernel is installed, but that can be changed by editing the script without any other issues as far as I recall. I think I'll try that out some time next week. I have a last question though : does anyone have the integrated flash card readers working yet ? (MemoryStick & Co, and SD) Cheers Sébastien L.
