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 yleetiny wrote: > I will make my comments on each models : > *** VGN-BZ12XN *** > 1- you have 2 backlights interfaces : one from sony-laptop, the other from > acpi, you may have backlight control for it through acpi, or an applet. > > 2- you have the "sony-laptop" module, correctly associated in hal : "sony > vaio jogdial" & "sony vaio keys". > So, that means either "hal" informations to associate FN-keys are wrong, or > sony-laptop module does not support your model. > Your keymaps are (extract from your file) : > input.keymap.data = {'0x06:mute', '0x07:volumedown', '0x08:volumeup', > '0x09:brightnessdown', '0x0a:brightnessup', '0x0b:switchvideomode', > '0x0e:zoom', '0x10:suspend'} (string list) > > Please, verify that the informations are correct, with this link : > http://people.freedesktop.org/~hughsient/quirk/quirk-keymap-modules-data.html#sony > > *** VGN-Z21WN_B *** > 1- You have a Geforce "GeForce 9300M GS", so you won't have backlight control > on it (the backlight control on geforce 8 is still experimental) > > 2- same second point as "VGN-BZ12XN" > > *** CR-220E *** > 1- you have 3 backlight interfaces : 1 sony, 2 throught acpi > 2- same second point as "VGN-BZ12XN" > > Unfortunately, if nothing is wrong with the 2nd point, that probably > means that new vaios FN keys are different from the existings ones, in > that case, I don't have the necessary knowledge to deal with it, you > should contact Mattia Dongili, writter of the sony-laptop module.
