I'll be tweeting this for a while I suggest other do too!!!

@sony Frustrated at the lack of Nvidia driver support from a locked down Z Series Sony Laptop http://bit.ly/iaKcQR - Sony sort this out!!!

Thanks for the find and share - A little concerned about the Over heating and validation issues... Can you confirm that CUDA acceleration works in Premiere CS5???

Thanks again..

i rely on the portrait mode for my work, bought a $3000 Z 1390X. it does not permit screen rotation or extension.  a day after unpacking the computer i contacted customer support and they promsied to install a "different graphics card and mother board".  to cut a long gory story short,  i waited three weeks for the promised parts, was then advised to send the computer into repair in san diego.  waited and waited some more. one feels like a dog who doesnt understand why, but waits anyway.   finally i was told the Z series is "not compatible" with the installed Nvidia 330M graphics card,   and cannot "offer the option" of swiveling a monitor.  it's , uh, rather basic, isnt it?

they should advise their sales people that their top of the line computer has limited capacities --   i do wish some computer magazines would pick up on this!

i called sony style and asked whether the Z series can rotate a monitor and the salesperson said "of course".  when i told her it was not the case, she replied, "We're just in sales.  We dont know what a computer can or cannot do".

switching to  mac, finally.  i was the final hold out in my extended family and friends.  i know when i'm beaten.

The drivers aren't signed so they won't work unless you use the driver enforcement override. Without the override, Windows will revert to the standard SVGA drivers. This is why you can only access lower resolutions.

Personally I have had no trouble with the unsigned drivers and I have been able to use CUDA acceleration but this is very much at your own risk.

Hello,

i am facing the same problem...

Recent games won't launch or will have bugs because of graphics drivers.

The link provided in a previous message seems nice, but it sounds complicated and risky (some people bricked their computer while doing the setup).... And anyway, the latest package still contains outdated drivers.

Is sony planning on releasing an update for the graphic drivers ? When you pretend to sell nvidia hardware you have to provide all the service and software associated...

Regards.
