Michael The sonypi module has been (or will be) deprecated: http://www.linux.it/~malattia/wiki/index.php/Sony-laptop
So it should probably not even be asked for in /etc/init.d/hotkey-setup - in any case, it just throws an error because the sonypi module is no longer included with the kernel. At the moment, the hotkeys themselves are set up and send acpi events, but translating those events into actual hardware changes is where we get stuck (you can check this with tail -f /var/log/acpid ). -- unable to adjust screen brightness on recent Sony Vaio notebooks https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/173652 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
