I've modified sonybright script in order to works better with my sony vaio.
I have a fr215 model, maybe this changes doesn' work with newer vaio models.
The problem is that /sys/class/backlight/sony/actual_brightness has a value
of "5", and it never changes its value, so the script only changes the bright
value from "4" to "6". Reading from /sys/class/backlight/sony/brightness the
problem is fixed (being 7 the brightness-top of my laptop).
Thanks, here's the patch attached:
