Unfortunately none of the above worked for me. I have been able to use the intel drivers for integrate graphics only by using the script from comment #7 http://piotr.gabryjeluk.pl/dev:ubuntu-11-04-natty-on-sony- vaio-sz640
This was necessary because nvidia drivers presence apparently breaks the 3d support from the intel. Also, when using the nvidia card I the 'additional drivers' kept insisting that the nvidia driver was installed, but not in use. I thought I might be using nouveau by accident, but I've removed it and still it was denying the use of the proprietary driver (though compiz support was there) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/764195 Title: laptop screen blacklight brightness always at 100% (even on battery), can't be lowered _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
