I've already got FN keys to work. It's pretty easy. In /etc/acpi/events there are a number of files. You can copy or change the sony brightness files.
First change the key event. To find out which key code you need run 'acpi_listen' and press the brightness up and down keys. For me it was 'sony/hotkey SNC 00000001 00000011' and 'sony/hotkey SPIC 00000001 00000010' (if I remember correctly..). Put these codes on the 'event=' line in the sony-brightness-up and sony-brightness-down files. Secondly, you need to change the commands. Since nvclock segfault if no homedir is set, use 'HOME=/root nvclock -S +10' or 'HOME=/root nvclock -S -10' as the 'action='. I hope this helps, if not, please say so. I don't have my laptop with me right now so I can't upload my configuration files. (But i'm willing to do that later.) 2008/10/24 aprogram <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Hey, great work from Mike! > > For my Sony FZ 11 S the command > sudo nvclock -S ?? > is working.
