Hi Mattia, (taking the MMC guy out, this is not about the SD card reader anymore) On Di, 28 Okt 2008, Mattia Dongili wrote: > Yes, I am. But I have no idea what might be wrong.

Thanks to Ishikawa-san I have an sony-laptop.c file which allows setting the backlight using the /sys/devices/backlight/{sony,acpi_video0}/backlight files (interestingly, they do not agree on their behaviour, xbacklight can change in 12.5% jumps, that makes 9 different values, but allowed are only 8 (from 0 to 7). In sony the 0% is missing, in acpi_video0 the 100% is missing -- i.e., sony/brightness 0 is brighter than acpi_video0/brightness 0, and so on). But still the function keys do not work. No idea what could be done here.
