Nvidia Geforce GT330M

Well i believe they will make it fast because that is really embarrassing.

Hopefully in the next couple of months they will have a driver. I was looking forward to having Ubuntu on my new Vaio Z but then found out there is no driver support for my graphics card. Such a disappointment...
I guess I have to stick with Windows 7 until then

I believe that is more matter of days rather than months. Usually they are acting fast but i can understand your disappointment. I would be too.

After downloading the 190.53 nvidia driver directly from their site and installing it my 330m card seems to work. It doesn't say that 300m is supported but 200m is so I thought it was worth a try. Now my graphics are a nice 1600x900 on ubuntu

Link: ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/190.53

Download: NVIDIA-Linux-x86-190.53-pkg0.run
Exit x Server
Navigate to where you downloaded NVIDIA-Linux-x86-190.53-pkg0.run and execute it as root. After rebooting it should work

Hi,

I printed the whole tutorial and did exactly what it said.

Everything works as was written down.

But at the last reboot al I got was a black screen.

So I think I have to wait a little longer for a solution.

With regards, Flip

What graphic card do you have?

I'm a owner of Vaio F11 series too. Try to search in google vaio f11 linux. You will find a site with all the tricks to make ubuntu work fine

@flipflipsen: exit x server by typing
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
into a terminal. This will cause you to have just text on your screen. Log in again( you are prompted to do this). Then navigate to where you saved the driver NVIDIA-Linux-x86-190.53-pkg0.run file using the cd command. You don't need a command to execute the file. just type in the file name like so: ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-190.53-pkg0.run. Also, if you are running 64 bit ubuntu you may want to try the drivers found here:
ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Li..._64/195.36.24/
instead of the one I previously mentioned.
