Hello Christophe,

Run in a console-window:

        sony-VGN-Zseries-janitor -vf

and do not yet install the nvidia-driver.

After that, look if the /usr/lib/libGL.so link exists

Running the janitor script with flag '-f' (like described above) already
did that for you (if you have done that step)

No, that is nothing concerning libs, it is the kernel module for the
intel graphics chip

What is the output from

        lsmod | grep video

in stamina (intel) mode?

You can safely remove that file, yes

I am not sure about that but it may be the reason.

By the way, I have looked in the install script of the distribution
package 'nvidia-glx-185' and have found some bugs, one of them caused
this here:

Not only that is the reason why I suggest you to take the driver from
ftp-server or a beta driver instead of the distribution package.

Now, since it does its own diversion and dkms kernel-module upgrading,
no other reason left to not take this one. Ok, I did not yet add the
patches for rt kernel but if someone need that, he will know how to
patch it himself :-)
