step-by-step instructions to get a working Ubuntu 11.04 installation for Z13

 

Hi,

just a quick follow-up to my last email.

I finally managed to get both speed and stamina to work in my Z13 with
Ubuntu 11.04... almost. I used the stock kernel, latest Nvidia binary
from their site, Adam's patch to sony-laptop kernel module and Adam's
upstart script modified for stock kernel use.

I wrote a guide here:

The only thing is that when booting into Speed mode, I have to drop
into console and restart the gdm service to get a working X session.
Annoying, but I can live with that, since I mostly use the stamina
mode.

Any ideas how to fix that?

Cheers,
Heikki
