Hi all, I have a Z13 (model is VPCZ13AFJ) running Gentoo linux with latest everything (kernel 3.7.2, xorg server 1.13.1, intel driver 2.20.18, nvidia driver 313.18).
My BIOS is patched so that the Speed/Stamina switch determines which video card gets enabled at next boot. During boot it runs a tiny script that detects which card is active and changes a line in xorg.conf according to that. Now here's the limitation I'm running into: - In Speed (NVIDIA) mode: HDMI output works, but I can't adjust the built-in LCD backlight (always at 100%). - In Stamina (INTEL) mode: I can adjust the built-in LCD backlight, but HDMI output does not work. Is there a way (I mean *any* way) to *simultaneously* have a working HDMI output *and* the ability to adjust the built-in LCD backlight ? Please note: - In NVIDIA mode, I tried "nvclock" (and writing to /proc files) but it has no effect and "nvidia-settings" doesn't offer a way to adjust the backlight. - I don't care about 3D performance nor power consumption. I'd just want both things to work simultaneously. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance! Joël
