[Bruno Santos <bacmsantos@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello everyone,

I got a new Sony Z5 last week and I installed ubuntu 9.10. Most of the
things are working quite well out of the box, but I was trying to find a
solution for the switch between the discrete and nvidia card. I found
the tutorial for "Installation of Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope on Sony
Vaio VGNZ11MN/B by Philipp Blanke" but when I tried to compile the sony-
laptop module I get an error message.
Can someone please tell me if there is any solution for this problem or
other ways around to solve the problem. I have also managed to find a
different solution here:http://www.mail-archive.com/sony-
vaio-z-series@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg00659.html, but apparently then the
switch stops working properly in Windows which I also don't want.

Many thanks in advance for any help,
Bruno Santos
