Hi Bernd,

nvidia works now with acpi=ht.
I wonder why it works for you without any hacks.

What Distro are you using, what Kernel, which nvidia-drivers?

Hi Johannes,

my machine is a VGN-Z21VN, the distro is Crux (http://crux.nu/) with icewm and ROX filer, kernel 2.6.29.2. I installed the nvidia driver from

    http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_180.51.html.

I also tried the nv driver from xorg. Both worked, with the same limitations (no backlight control). One difference was that the proprietary nvidia driver replaced a couple of libraries on my system, which caused some trouble later when I switched back to the intel driver.

Greetings,
Bernd
