Just to chime in with a bit more information and a reminder in case we are losing focus, the original bug description concerned the NVidia Geforce 8 series cards, I have a Vaio VGN-SZ71WN which has a 8400 GS card on it, I tried the nvclock mentioned above (nvclock 8 b3) but it tells me:

"Smartdimmer is only supported on certain laptops using a Geforce 6200/7x00Go. If you want support on your laptop contact the author"

Which means the original problem is still not solved
