Hi Martin, So I've tried to have that problem fixed upstream in the kernel, but kernel developper think it is a bios bug, or a platform driver issue... I'm trying to have it fixed since intrepid, and reported from nvidia to hal to devicekit to kernel... and each time nothing before release...

Try to use my script: http://shawe.ewahs.googlepages.com/install-FnKeys-sony-nvidia.sh It autoinstall all necessary things for that FnKeys works. Only is possible that you need edit this file: /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/10-sony-laptop-panel-mgmt-policy.fdi and add your model of laptop. My solution works detecting a specified laptop that has a nvidia graphic card. 20 sony-nvidia In my case, I replace YOUR_LAPTOP_HERE for VGN-FZ38M. When you do all changes do this: /etc/init.d/hal restart /etc/init.d/acpid restart or restart your computer. This solutions works for me and most people on Ubuntu Intrepid and works already after update to Jaunty. I don't try it after a clean installation of it, but I thing that also works well.

The showkeys output shows that the kernel driver is synthesizing the correct keypress events for these hotkeys, but that the desktop stack is not subsequently able to handle them. We can easily restore the sony scripts to the acpi-support package, but the right way to fix this is if gnome-power-manager (or other desktop package as appropriate) will know what to do with these events on your hardware. So I'm opening a task on gnome-power-manager for this.
