I just want to add that nothing works until I do 'xrandr --output LVDS
--set BACKLIGHT_CONTROL native'. After that, xbacklight and function
keys work to set screen brightness.

I also get this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ smartdimmer -g
init_nvclock() failed!

As far as this error goes...
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ /etc/acpi/sonybright.sh down
cat: /sys/class/backlight/sony/brightness: No such file or directory
/etc/acpi/sonybright.sh: line 8: [: : integer expression expected
/etc/acpi/sonybright.sh: line 15: /sys/class/backlight/sony/brightness: No such 
file or directory

The reason is because the file has moved to
/sys/class/backlight/acpi_videoX/brightness where X is either 0 or 1.
However, changing this value doesn't seem to make a difference in the
screen brightness.

I don't know if any of this was useful to anybody else, but I hope so.
