Hi,

I heard now from several people that nvclock is not working.
Probably the linux driver doe s not support it by now, no idea.
Here I can assure you taht it works:
$ glxinfo
...
direct rendering: Yes
server glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
...
OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
OpenGL renderer string: GeForce 9300M GS/PCI/SSE2
OpenGL version string: 3.3.0 NVIDIA 280.13
...
$ nvclock -i
-- General info --
Card: 		nVidia Geforce 9300M GS
Architecture: 	G98 A2
PCI id: 	0x6e5
GPU clock: 	182.248 MHz
Bustype: 	PCI-Express
...
-- Smartdimmer info --
Backlight level: 40%

-- Sensor info --
Sensor: GPU Internal Sensor
GPU temperature: 48C

-- VideoBios information --
Version: 62.98.3e.00.18
Signon message: Sony mobile A NB9M-GS VGA BIOS
...
$ nvclock -S -30
Changing Smartdimmer level from 70% to 40%
New Smartdimmer level: 40%
$

That is with 
	NVClock v0.8 (Beta4)

So if you have a similar card, it should work. The rest is only
hooking the acpi keys to the nvclock calls.

Best wishes

Norbert

A bromton is that which is said to have been committed when you are
convinced you are about to blow off with a resounding trumpeting noise
in a public place and all that actually slips out is a tiny 'pfpt'.
