Hi gapon,

yes it's possible to run Lucid Lynx with nvidia driver full
resolution, wifi, sound, hibernation, ... (no suspend, no brightness
control in my case) as described on
http://questier.com/2010/04/26/ubuntu-10-4-lucid-lynx-on-sony-vaio-vpcz11x9e/

My glxinfo starts as:
name of display: :0.0
display: :0  screen: 0
direct rendering: Yes
server glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
server glx version string: 1.4
...


But you didn't mention which model you have.
The Z-series are now very diverse, so I would like to encourage
everybody to include in every mail the model she is talking about.
I have a Sony Vaio VPCZ11X9E which describes itself on the LCD panel
as VPCZ1. (core i5 Intel graphics + nvidia GT 330M)

Frederik
