Has somebody found a workaround? I would really like my function keys to
work. acpi_listen does not produce any output here either. sony_laptop
is loaded and sonypi is not.

Pihhan: I tried your suggestion, but the output of running acpi_listen
and pushing the Fn+F5 and such produced no output at all. I read the
"duplicate" bug that you marked, but I believe that this may actually

I have tried the blacklisting of sonypi using the above instructions,
but it still does not work. I am now running Hardy Heron on this machine
as well.
I do have a workaround solution in place. I discovered that I can run
"smartdimmer" to change brightness without needing to use sudo. I used
gconf
Chris, did you try the blacklisting of sonypi as Leann suggested above?
Are you still experiencing this issue?

Nevermind about the BIOS. I checked and there are no options remotely
related to any of this. Sony went all out and lets me set the time,
date, startup animation preferences, boot order, and passwords. That is
all. It's the smallest BIOS options list I have ever seen.

Hi Chris,
If you'd like to try blacklisting the sonypi module you just need to add
it to /etc/modprove.d/blacklist . However, I've seen issues with the
sonypi module that you also will have to comment out the line "modprobe
sonypi" in /etc/init.d/hotkey-setup. Let us know if this helps.
Thanks!
lsmod shows both modules loaded on my computer.

I removed the deprecated sonypi module from the running kernel.

Hi Chris,
Can you just try loading the sony-laptop module and not the sony-pi
module. It wasn't clear if this is what you tried when testing with the
Gutsty Gibbon 7.10 LiveCD. It is my understanding that sony-pi has been
obsoleted in favor of using sony-laptop. You can even see the following

Could you please recheck it with latest Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon 7.10 or the
Live CD? Sony-laptop module is used instead of sony-acpi since Gutsy so
maybe this was the problem.

It turns out that I have everything you mentioned installed already. I

Hotkey stuff on this kind of laptop generates ACPI events, and acpid is
supposed to pick up on those and launch the scripts I mentioned. So the
first thing to do is make sure you're got the ACPI-related packages that

Running the commands you mentioned (/etc/acpi/sonybright.sh) work great!
Can you tell me how I might go about attaching those commands to my
keyboard's "Fn+F5" and "Fn+F6" key strokes that indicate they are
supposed to handle brightness? Thanks for the help!

Works (kinda) for me with a VGN-B3XP. The sliders under
System>Preferences>Power Management don't work, while the underlying
/sys stuff and hotkeys work fine. See bug 152731 for *that*.
Do you have hotkeys for the brightness? Does pressing them work? What
