Hello Some of the newer Sony Vaio laptops with Nvidia GPUs show a totally black screen when X starts with the propiatery drivers. A workaround is to dump the EDID of the LCD panel into a file and use an xorg.conf file to force X to use custom EDID. This time, system console(the one you reach via ctrl+alt-f<1-6>) go blank. Nouveau works without problems. What would be the proper solution to this problem? Is it a fault correctable by Xorg or are Nvidia people to be contacted to resolve this? Regards -- Atilla Filiz
