Grrrrrrrrr, today the *ç%& dimming didn't work again!! But comparing the output "lsmod | grep sony" with the line in /etc/init.d/hotkey-setup mentioned by Mathieu above, I found out that the kernel module itself is called "sony_laptop" (with UNDERSCORE!!), but in the hotkey-setup the modprobe is set against "sony-laptop" (with HYPHEN!!). So, after replacing "sony-laptop" with "sony_laptop" in the hotkey-setup, the dimming is working again. I hope this time for more than one reboot ...
