Unfortunately none of the above worked for me. I have been able to use the intel drivers for integrate graphics only by using the script from comment #7 http://piotr.gabryjeluk.pl/dev:ubuntu-11-04-natty-on-sony- vaio-sz640
This was necessary because nvidia drivers presence apparently breaks the 3d support from the intel. Also, when using the nvidia card I the 'additional drivers' kept insisting that the nvidia driver was installed, but not in use. I thought I might be using nouveau by accident, but I've removed it and still it was denying the use of the proprietary driver (though compiz support was there) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/764195 Title: laptop screen blacklight brightness always at 100% (even on battery), can't be lowered -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
