@Bernhard: Thank you! That worked. I had to get around it a little, but it worked really well.
Since I am subscribed to multiple threads for this issue, I will post what I have done. I am on VPCS117GG. 1) Remove all nvidia packages 2) download the files and install this https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/256.53-0ubuntu3/+build/1973339. 3) download the package nvidia-settings_256.53-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb (follow #66) 4) install all of them using `sudo dpkg -i *.deb` 5) This is where I tried something different, I read somewhere that you MUST use linux kernel 2.6.36, go to http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.36-maverick/ (thanks to Artem161 from http://code.google.com/p/vaio-f11-linux/wiki/NVIDIASetup). Download the appropriate architecture files. I downloaded headers, image and headers-amd64 6) Use the custom EDID option in /etc/X11/xorg.conf *my edid file is located in /proc/acpi/video... your might be different. Option "ConnectedMonitor" "DPF-0" Option "CustomEDID" "DPF-0: /proc/acpi/video/IGPU/LCD0/EDID" Option "RegistryDwords" "EnableBrightnessControl=1" # For brightness control 7) This is your step 5, sudo update-alternatives --config gl_conf (I picked manual) sudo ldconfig sudo nvidia-xconfig sudo reboot And yes. Finally this is working well.
