I've got a Sony Vaio VGN FS285M. I'm using FSFN for handle FN events
through "/dev/input/event*" interface but it's needed a few tweaks:

* Change "sony_acpi" from 0.2 to a patched version (0.2-PP) that adds
"/proc/acpi/sony/fnkey". This patch was in dapper but it isn't in newer
releases.

* Install FSFN and add it to /etc/rc2.d (or the one you're using).

* Change a HAL script because there is a bug in HAL scripts that handle
brightness through "/proc/acpi/sony/brightness".

I filed a bug for this stuff a long time ago... but the bug still
exists.

If you are using suspend or hibernate I encourage you to use FSFN over
other alternatives because it discovers what device has FN events. Other
alternatives need to know exactly what device to use and it changes when
resuming from suspend or hibernate.

Regards,

    Pedro
