Only a little progress with hotkeys, not with backlight. I have a VGN-FZ11Z, after the last kernel upgrade (2.6.24-21-generic i686) it finally recognizes the brightness keys correctly. Not only acpi_listen gives responses when the key are pressed, but also kde open a little pop-up referring to

Really a great news!!! I've just installed the hacked version of nvclock and after "nvclock -S 50" the brightness in now set to 50%! Unfortunately it worked just one time, if I try to change again the brightness it gives to me: Error! Smartdimmer is only supported on certain laptops using a Gefo

I think that my error would be related to the use of "nvclock -S 50". But, where have I to write the value? Thank you. -- No Screen Backlight Control; Sony Vaio with nvidia 8 series graphics https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/95444 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubunt

I used the patch provided by nielsslot that allows to use a percentage instead of a numeric value and I also changed "sony-brightness-down" and "sony-brightness-up" and now when I adjust brightness via fn keys my display reports the actual brightness.

Vaio and brightness control is unfortunately and old story... With FZ series "sudo nvclock -S -20" works, and I think it should work also with the SZ series. If it works, you can try to link the nvclock command with FN keys according to the information that you will find in this old bug report:

I tried Ivan's mcNisse' patch on karmic with KDE SC 4.4 RC1 and it partly worked: I could see the configuration window, but I could not enter printers properties. To see and change them I have to comment out also line 204 in options.py ("raise NotImplemented"). Now it works! -- KDE printer config
