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...

Shawe, your should verify the ubuntu version and install smartdimmer only if needed :) And you should clarify this sentense : echo "Only works with:" echo "nVidia Corporation GeForce 8400M GS" echo "nVidia Corporation GeForce 8600M GT (rev a1)" For people like me who have a GeForce 8400M GT :) (I didn't test your script yet, sorry :) ) -- fn keys for backlight (brighness) not working : geforce 8 card on sony vaio, no laptop_panel in lshal https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/345531 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Schmirrwust, then with these sentence is possible autoadd the models in to this file? Is only need to add these line to the end of my script?? I think that can be a clean and easy way for people who want that they fn-keys works well and easily.

To add the model number to the fdi file, shawe, you could use following command in the script : hal-get-property --udi "/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer" --key system.hardware.product -- fn keys for backlight (brighness) not working : geforce 8 card on sony vaio, no laptop_panel in lshal https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/345531 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

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.

pre-emptively marking this as wontfix for jaunty, based on Martin's comments.
