I am with Lucid on a Sony Vaio Z-series (VGN-Z21MN) with hybrid graphics Intel 915i / Nvidia 9300M GS
I wrote my own solution: http://global-social.net/sony-VGN-Zseries A "janitor script" which installs beside a special kernel module only for the sony-Z-series and a rfkill aplett: * directly the proprietary driver from the nvidia ftp-download-server or a beta driver from your choice with dkms auto kernel-module upgrading and dpkg diversion of the files already present from other packages or (when it works again) * the driver from the repo (using the jockey script, works on karmic) It installs a switching mechanism to change between those two drivers depending on which graphic-card rather is active It does a complete uninstallation as well. This is only for Sony VGN-Z-series Laptops since there are some special acpi settings which need to be considered. This is for Karmic and Lucid (with upstart) but i made it work on Debian (sysv-rc scripts) as well. By the way, I have found two little bugs in "nvidia- glx-185_185.18.36-0ubuntu9_amd64": preinst: line no: 126 - if dpkg-divert --list $glxname | grep /usr/lib32/libGL.so.1 > /dev/null ; then + if dpkg-divert --list $glxname | grep "/usr/lib32/libGL.so.1 " > /dev/null ; then line-no: 187 makes a diversion from a not existing file (or did I miss something?) - dpkg-divert --add --rename --package nvidia-glx-185 --divert /usr/lib/nvidia/libGLcore.so.xlibmesa /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libGLcore.so > /dev/null my 2 ct hth Raphael Gradenwitz -- [lucid] nvidia-glx can't work with new xorg 7.5 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/494166 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
