    I moddified LV2GO nvidia 190.40 beta driver INF for VAIO notebooks. Vaio Brightness control is full working now.

    I modded it for nvidia gf 9300m gs and tested on vaio vgn-cs with win vista 32bit but should be compatible with some of the newer VAIO models.

    -h264 hardware GPU-decoding is supporing now (It utilizes only a few percent of the CPU)

    Instalation:

    1. If you already have an existing nVidia driver installed, uninstall it with its Uninstaller, then use Driver Sweeper to remove any remaining files/registry keys and reboot before you attempt to install this driver.

    2. Overwrite the existing nv_disp.inf in 19040_win7x32.exe with my moddified v190.40 INF file.

    Download:

    My moddified v190.40 INF - here Reuploaded
    NVIDIA driver v190.40 - here

    UNOFFICIAL! USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!

    You don't need a modded inf. Use the nvszf.inf file which supports most Sony GPU's. This is a beta driver.

    Tried it, I cant get the NVIDIA GPU to work.
    It indicates powersave mode (intel hybrid graphics). If I try to change to performance mode (in the small green icon), I get a windows with information, that Im now changing to performance mode, but then its gone, and nothing happens.

    So right now, I have no OpenGL acceleration, nothing.
