Sony Vaio Z-series and Linux nvidia xorg.conf

To have the right screen resolution when using the nvidia card on the Linux Sony Vaio Z-series:
If your resolution is 1600x900, then on the nvidia side I have added the DPI to force it to the intel value:


Section "Device"

Identifier "Configured Video Device"

Driver "nvidia"

Option "UseEDIDDpi" "FALSE"

Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "true"

Option "DPI" "96 x 96"

EndSection



For brightness control, one can add shortcuts for low, medium, high brightness through nvidia driver commands.

  1. Care to elaborate on how to do that with the nvidia driver commands?
