У меня vaio с NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GT
Пробовал ставить и драйвер от 8700M под linux и из репозитория, всё одно не пашет.
На сайте Nvidia в списке такои карти нет а авто определение выдаёт:
Sony requires that you download the driver for your GPU from their support site.
You can find more information at: http://www.sony.com.
The GeForce M series and GeForce Go series notebook GPUs use drivers that have been customized by the notebook manufacturers
to support hot key functions, power management functions, lid close and suspend/resume behavior.
NVIDIA has worked with some notebook manufacturers to provide notebook-specific driver updates,
however, most notebook driver updates must come from the notebook manufacturer.
Additionally, the desktop GeForce graphics drivers will not install on Geforce M series and Quadro M series notebook GPU's.
т.е. найти нормальный драйвер под linux не реально?
