Ohhh, crap! My joy was spread a little bit too early. It seens that the slider for dimming the brightness on my Sony Vaio VGN-FS195VP only worked just after the update. After rebooting my machine I was - once again - not able to dim the brightness within gnome-power-manager 2.20.0. Very strange! Because of the eloquent dmesg output (see below) I blacklisted the sonypi module, but that doesn't seem to do the trick. Are the modules sonypi and sony-laptop (both are loaded during startup) disturbing each other or lies the problem deeper in the dbus and hal area? I have no idea! Well, let's wait and see what the next update brings ...
