That is OK but better is you copy the files with wget (from a root
shell):

for c in switch-x-to.conf nvidia-settings.conf; do
wget -O "/etc/init/$c" "http://global-social.net/files/$c";; done


Attention: you now have a file named nvidiasettings.conf, i renamed it
in nvidia-settings.conf. Thus if you executed this two lines, you should
remove the old file (as root):

rm -f /etc/init/nvidiasettings.conf

(This looks not important but I will try to maintain this a little bit
and when you take the same names, you will be able to update this in
future more easy.)

If the LED's does not work and you use the sony-laptop kernel module
fork from Norbert Preining, then it can not work.

Here lies the problem. You MUST solve that first.
I could completely reproduce this what you described with grub2. Try to
find out how you can pass the kernel command-line in a way it works in
grub2. I could not find out, it looks like a grub2 bug.
If possible, go back to grub legacy and everything will work fine.

Without the led burning, nothing can work.

The LED will not work as long as the
acpi_osi="!Windows 2006"
is not passed to the kernel (or passed wrong)

grub2 does not work like one would expect :-(
