Thanks.. Nothing seems to be wrong with the second point so it seems 
that sony-laptop does not support my model. It is weird that it would 
say sony c series detected on startup though... I shall contact the 
writer of the module directly..

p.s. would you mind changing the name of my laptop model to 'VGN-CR220E' 
because that is the full model.. thanks

Fn keys on VAIO don't produce keystrokes nor ACPI events
