oh! sorry I'm dumb and totally didn't notice that in /sys! Yes setting it to "stamina" totally solved my problem, now I'm down to 15W and can probably get better than that with more tweaking. Thanks!!! On an unrelated note, I've noticed that my Z1390 can't wake up from sleep using the new 2.6.37-6 kernel. It will fall asleep fine, but then when I hit a key to wake it up, it goes immediately to the "Vaio Z" bootup logo and I get to the grub menu, as if it just came on for the first time. Have you experienced this? Thanks again! __ mbiggs On Fri, 26 Nov 2010, Adam Hill wrote:
Sorry - didn't reply all. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "Adam Hill" <sidepipeuk@xxxxxxxxx> Date: 26 Nov 2010 19:44 Subject: Re: [Sony-vaio-z-series] Ubuntu 10.10 working on my Vaio Z with Adam's kernel To: "mbiggs" <launchpad@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Just because the NVidia card is showing does not mean that it's powered up - the vaios dynamic switching works that way. Try echoing "speed" to /sys/devices/platform/sony-laptop/speed_stamina ( may be the wrong path - I'm not near my laptop at the mo ) and see if power consumption goes up.

So I suppose the nvidia card is still activated? How do I switch it off? Thanks! __ mbiggs On Fri, 26 Nov 2010, Ricardo Ferreira wrote:You can see which one (or if both) is activated with lspci.

Thanks! Live CD worked but graphics were all messed up and touchpad too. After install the X server would not launch and I couldn't do CTRL+ALT+F1. After reboot, I added "nomodeset" to grub and downloaded Adam's 2.6.26-0 kernel+headers from www.voip-x.co.uk/files/adam. I also activated the proprietary nvidia driver. Reboot again and everything works. Touchpad, Fn keys and graphics, except the dynamic switch. How can I know if it is the Intel or NVidia card (or both) that ispoweredon? -- Giovanni _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~sony-vaio-z-series Post to : sony-vaio-z-series@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~sony-vaio-z-series More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp_______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~sony-vaio-z-series Post to : sony-vaio-z-series@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~sony-vaio-z-series More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
