Hi you all!
During this month, I've tried (with no resutl) to make work my laptop internal display (look at signature). So I've searched a lot (Google is great, is'n it? tongue.gif) but unfortunately seems there's no way (actually...) to use NVidia kext and QE/CI on VAIO internal display. At last, but not at least, seems there's no way to switch the screen resolution (recognized as 1024*768) to another one (maybe 1280*800? It could be great...).
So, why this topic?
Well, I'm trying to have a big topic where every VAIO user can post his experience (which result, which hardware configuration, which .iso), 'cause the information on the web are so confuses and you have to jump from a topic to another...
I start: I've tried Natit, NVInstaller, Titan, changing NVCAP values...no one works for the internal display. I've ever a black screen. My hardware configuration is on my signature.
During my search, I've found recentely two interesting topics.
1)use QE/CI with Intel Drivers and Video Card, only for who have a double graphic card;
2) change resolution problem for VAIO on ubuntu desktop. This can be, in my opinion, an idea. It seems that NVidia drivers doesn't work properly on some models. And to make it works, you've to edit xorg.conf¹ and change some lines...but I've found so interesting this one
Option "Ignore EDID" "on"
Maybe can be useful for who knows how drivers works under osx...Unfortunately, I've no experience in this, and I need some one to teach me "how" write drivers.

Regards

Maurizio

Note:
¹ xorg is the server X Window on Ubuntu.

Hi you all again. It seems I haven't got more success with this topic, have I?
Anyway, stop joking and talking about the topic title. I'm happy to say that an user with Intel GMA950 successfully use his laptop with QE/CI. So...I thought...Why?
Basically, I don't think that Sony made different connectors for different VGAs.
The user I'm talking about doesn't edit plist files or similar. Probably, drivers for Intel GMA works better then Nvidia. But what about the screen detection??
I hope that someone with some knowledges can have a look at this and answer me. I don't see any reason to don't work to find a solution for Vaio users with Nvidia graphic cards.

Regards.
