Title: Sony Vaio VPCS132FX/B Ambient Light sensor does not work Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Sony Vaio VPCS132FX/B Ambient Light sensor does not work to dim backlit keyboard and display. Backlight for Keyboard stays on constantly with every key stroke and times out after a bit. Also Power Manager does not dim display when "On Battery" when the option is checked. This dramatically kills battery and makes the whole Intel IPM(Intelligent Power Management) patch useless.... There is a patch for the F Series posted on http://code.google.com/p/vaio-f11-linux/. This patch only works with a plain linux kernel meaning I would lose all the Ubuntu related patches to the plain linux kernel. I'm sure It wouldn't be hard to apply this to a new kernel release. There has been support added for Macbooks with the same type of ambient light sensor hardware, is it possible that this can be streamlined to the Sony Vaio line?
