I (independently) came up with the same solution as 'ws' above and can confirm that this works on for the VAIO SR39VN/S as well. All the FN- keys now generate events and the brightness and suspend-to-disk keys are 'bound' to their respective actions by default. I have sent the change as a patch to the sony-laptop maintainer. So, this will for the SR model.
The keys should also work by default on the following models: FE, FZ, C, N If you own a DIFFERENT model (this bug was created for the BZ and CR models) you can try the same approach as described by 'ws'. But note that doing as such is not for the faint of heart. It involves downloading a kernel, adjusting source code, recompiling and testing your keys. Anyway, if you are able to successfully make the keys work for your model with this approach than please inform the sony-laptop maintainer (Mattia Dongili).
