Nvidia 9300M does not work on Z21 and linux!

Hi everybody,

I am wondering why on earth it is so difficult to make the Z21 dual gpu system work on linux (I have OpenSuse 11.1)! At least, using the nvidia 9300M only! I have been force to use the Intel card for months now and really cannot stand anymore! I just updated the nvidia driver to the latest beta version 185 but still get the same error:

"failed to initialize the nvidia graphics device pci:1:0:0"

Everything is detailed here:

I am wondering whether at Nvidia they are working on the Sony Vaio Z21 issue... we deserve a decent solution!
