I also discovered that on my sony Vaio spicctrl cannot change brightness either. No matter which value you choose for
$ spicctrl -b=[value] the brightness is set to zero and cannot be changed anymore without logging again. In Edgy spicctrl was working correctly. In essence, on my vaio s1 there seems to be no way to set brightness. It is a real regression from Edgy. -- In Fiesty Sony Vaio Brigthness Fn keys stopped working https://launchpad.net/bugs/90708 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
