"""I'm using a Sony Vaio with a Nvidia GT310m card. Using the 256.53-driver, I 
tried not to use the CustomEdid option, but then the notebook's display remains 
black, only the external monitor works. When I use the CustomEdid otpion, both 
displays work well, even in TwinView."""

Dear Bernhard, How did you get yours to work?

1) I uninstalled all nvidia* 
2) I downloaded NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-256.53.run 
3) Rebooted, get black screen, can't even get into recovery mode
4) Have to boot from start up disk and mount and change /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Added the lines: 
   Option             "ConnectedMonitor"   "DFP-0"
   Option             "CustomEDID"          "DFP-0:/etc/X11/sony.bin"
Under section ( the xorg.conf is generated by nvidia-xconfig after step 2), 
Obviously I have the sony.bin file there

Still getting blank screen...

Not hearing any noise when ubuntu boots, so I guess it's a bigger issue
then?
