Can you start the following script after the graphical login and see if
you can set the brightness manually (start with the i option):

#!/bin/bash

while true; do
 clear
 echo "up = Screen Brightness Up"
 echo "down = Screen Brightness Down"
 echo "i = Initialize Hardware"
 echo "q = Quit"

 read -s -n1 key

 clear

 case "$key" in
  $'\033')
   read -s -n1 key; read -s -n1 key
   case "$key" in
    A)
     xbacklight -time 0 -steps 1 -inc 10 2>/tmp/sonybright.log
     ;;
    B)
     xbacklight -time 0 -steps 1 -dec 10 2>/tmp/sonybright.log
     ;;
   esac
   ;;
  i)
   xrandr --output LVDS --set BACKLIGHT_CONTROL native
   ;;
  q)
   clear
   exit 0
   ;;
 esac
done
