Very interesting. If I remove the three sony modules (sonypi, sony-acpi and sony-laptop), then load ONLY sony-laptop and then restart dbus and guidance-power- manager, things are working again!!!
BUT if I only remove sonypi and sony-acpi, leave sony-laptop still loaded, restart dbus, restart guidance, things don't work! I need to unload all three and then load sony-laptop for things to work. What is more, dmesg shows some output when using any of the fsfn keys as well: [ 1521.084000] atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0xf5 on isa0060/serio0). [ 1521.084000] atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e075 <keycode>' to make it known. When the laptop boots, there is some kernel moaning about the sonypi module. It says to use sony-laptop instead. Please see attached file. PS: I have loaded sony-acpi and things still work fine. ** Attachment added: "boot-time dmesg output (dmesg|grep -i sony)" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/9438651/dump1.txt -- [gutsy] Backlight adjustment not working on Sony VAIO https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/140966 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
