Here you can find information on how to install and run Ubuntu Feisty Fawn on the Sony VAIO VGN-SZ1M/B .
First, i tried booting with the Ubuntu Fesity Fawn, the Live Cd installations worked fine. Materials like Wifi, Sound and Dual Core Processor had been well recognized. Here is my /etc/apt/sources.list

Next, i update my system
root@vaio:~# apt-get update
root@vaio:~# apt-get dist-upgrade
Nice job of Ubuntu teams ! Thx all !
root@vaio:~# apt-get install nvidia-kernel nvidia-glx
Lecture des listes de paquets... Fait
Next enable glx and edit your xorg.conf, like follows :
root@vaio:~# nvidia-glx-config
root@vaio:~# nano -w /etc/X11/xorg.conf
In the section module, check if the following lines are commented :
# Load "GLcore"
# Load "dri"
and don’t forget to check if Nvidia Drivers are enabled, you must read nvidia and not nv in the Device Section !
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
BoardName "GeForce Go 7400"
EndSection
reboot X by CTRL+ALT+SUPP, now you must see Nvidia Logo !!!
I used NVIDIA Driver Version : 1.0-9631

I use Applet NetworkManager 0.6.4. It works fine !!! It supports unencrypted, WEP, WPA, and WPA2 networks !!! Very easy to configure !
Fn keys work fine but the key S1-S2 are out of order.
