G210m Blank Laptop Display - Page 4

achim123 · 12-03-09, 01:25 PM

I solved it with:

Quote:

Section "Device"
Identifier "Device0"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "DFP-0,DFP-1,CRT"
Option "CustomEDID" "DFP-0:/etc/X11/edid.bin"
EndSection

but one question remains:
does the resolution-identification just work if I restart the X-server or start with sth connected?
that's what happend here

i got a sony vpccw1s1e with nvidia gt 230m card "1366x768" like perfect résolution
i tried the EDID way it's work but i can't switch betwen the command interface and the graphic.
i hope the problem of this sony's series can be resolved in the next update of the driver
and to work confortable on our laptop with the ultimat linux.

Hey,

anything new here? I am really missing the regulation of brightness!

achim123 · 12-20-09, 02:10 PM

same here,
I guess we have to wait for the next update :/

Has anyone tried 190.53? Does this get everything working with G210M chipsets?

I have a Sony Vaio VPCCW13EG, and am willing to use it as a test bed if anyone wants so. AaronP?

According to the driver release notes nvidia have dropped support for g210m

sradhakrishna · 12-30-09, 06:07 AM

Just checked the Change log that is a part of 190.53. Didn't find any such notice...

Is this actually true? Any idea which was the last stable release that could work with Ubuntu 9.10?

Regards,
Radha.

Hi,

I own a Sony Vaio CW with the 230M graphics card and want to run Ubuntu Linux....

This post seems like the answer to me but I cannot extract the EDID .bin file from softMCCS as it just crashes everytime I open it...

Could someone please either post their EDID file or possibly show me another program that will do the same job?

Thanks in advance.

I hope every one posting realizes this EDID workaround by egghead while a nice workaround, is a workaround that addresses a bug, that requires installing win7, and doesn't fix the issue. eg try hitting ctrl+alt+F1.

one question... has everyone submitted a bug report to NVIDIA with a log file from running nvidia-bug-report.sh?

achim123 · 01-02-10, 09:36 AM

Here is my gz-compressed edid .bin
( I've got a Vaio VPCCW1SE )

Has anybody tested the new driver yet?

btw how do I submit a bug report to nvidia?
is there sth like bugzilla?

Solid1986Snake · 01-02-10, 11:20 AM

The new driver doesn't change anything.

The nouveau people are working on a solution, It seems as if the edid infos on the newer sony vaios need to be obtained from the systembios, that needs a kernel patch, because it doesn't provide such funcionality.

Maybe someone could test this kernel here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=536923

And what about the brightness issue? Where is the right place to report this? Think that it is not the nvidia drivers work, more an acpi issue?

Hi! I still have a problem getting this thing running. I have a Sony Vaio VPCCW1S1E with one G230M graphic chip. I tried the solution provided by egghead with various nvidia-drivers, and the blank screen issue is solved, but what I get is the following:
The screens max. resolution is 640x480 and the screen appears 6 times seperated by black and grey bars. Does anyone of you guys have any idea what this thing might be? Thank you for your time,

Andreas.
