I've installed Intrepid Alpha 4 on a Sony Vaio VGN-FE31Z and I can
confirm that Fn keys do not work.

Aaaah, crap!! Since last weeks hardy heron update to kernel
2.6.24-10-generic the power management on my Sony Vaio VGN-FS195VP seems
again rather broken.
First of all the possibility to set the dimming precentage for battery

One week ago I installed the new Ubuntu Hardy Heron Alpha 1 on my Sony
Vaio VGN-FS195VP and since then dimming the screen manually and
automatically by switching off the power is working flawlessly! And this
not only with the older 2.6.22 kernel but also with the new 2.6.24. It
is now even possible
The strange thing is that when the gnome power manager sensor for
dimming the screen is working (at least for that one magic moment) there
is also the small on-screen sign visible that tells you that the power
has been switched off and that the computer is now running in power save
mode. But even t
Ooh, crap!! Neither Mathieu's tip nor my spelling correction nor
blacklisting or un-blacklisting the sonypi have changed anything! After
my next reboot everything was still the same. No dimming at all! So back

Well, well, well, I have to bow before you, Mathieu!! It seems that your

It is always nice to see other users having the same problems as I do.
On my Vaio FE-21S laptop my fn-keys (including the brightness-ones) were
