All the guys who have this problem should test the package available a
this address : http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=143025
You should report your laptop informations as described in the topic to
improve hardware support on this driver :)
(Thanks a lot Guillaume !)

I do:

cd nvbacklight-0.2

Thank you very much for your work, Guillaume! I've used the .deb package

collaborate.
By the way, Merry Christmas to everyone!

fn keys for backlight
Tried again following Shawe's instructions above, adding nvbacklight to
/etc/modules, but this time the nVidia drivers didn't even load and I got NV
driver instead... will have another go using the 'model' options.
Does anyone else have a dual-graphics Vaio?

Michael, you should give a try to https://launchpad.net/~mactel-

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...
I've opened the following bug :

Schmirrwurst [2009-05-16 18:00 -]:
or has it to be fixed in the kernel, that backlight appears in /sysfs ??
That'd be definitively the best solution; I remember some similar Sony
specific hal patch being rejected upstream because it would much
better get fixed in linux itself.

nothing seems to be done on hal side...
I've just read that powermanagement under karmic is going to focus on
udev-extras and devicekit-power...
So maybe we have to ask them for fix ? or has it to be fixed in the kernel,
that backlight appears in /sysfs ??

Hal debuging howto is suggesting to upload the output from lshal. I would

Lété, what about clarifying yourself ? Install the script, and if it
works, shawe can change the description...
Shawe,
The command only returns the model number, but on the package installing
script, we could generate the fdi file, so that it will only have the current
laptop model in it...
Shawe, your workaround won't work here : the bug description has been changed
to no laptop_panel, and your fdi files are based on it : match
key=info.category string=laptop_panel
So nothing would happend for user like me having no laptop_panel on lshal...

Schmirrwurst, you have reason, for the moment it is the only way for try to
