Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: hal
LCD brightness setting doesn't work currently with hal in feisty and
dapper release.
It doesn't work because the scripts hal-system-lcd-{get,set}-brightness-
linux relies on acpi methods. But this computer doesn't support
brightness setting with acpi.
Some workaround are needed (like in the acpi package, see
/etc/acpi/sonybright.sh).
I have some scripts modifications I'll upload.
** Affects: hal (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: Unconfirmed
