smartdimmer - init_nvclock failed

Everytime i use smartdimmer to control my vaio britghtness oi get that error.

any ideia?

i've installed nvlock too..

hi dartakaum i had the same problem after having installed smartdimmer via apt-get. now i installed it manually:

$ wget http://www.acc.umu.se/~erikw/program/smartdimmer-0.1.tar.bz2 $ tar xfvj smartdimmer-0.1.tar.bz2 $ cd smartdimmer/ $ ./configure && make && sudo make install and it works now flawless, i didn't even install nvclock. maybe it's because i'm using the newest NVIDIA-Driver... see this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=75074&highlight=NVIDIA for e detailed HOWTO on installing NVIDIA drivers, especially the posts 657-662...worked perfectly for me on a vaio s4xp... good luck
