Ok, I stuffed Tridge's inb / outb program into a little gnome window. Just seems easier to have a spinbox to adjust brightness. Shits and giggles. You can find it at: http://drew.serialhacker.net/vaio_control.tar.gz You either have to run it as root or throw the executable into /usr/local/bin

Nono it can't be the BIOS coz then it won't work under Losedoze (old vers, e.g. Wfw 3.11 with Win32s). AFAIK it's the "keyboard controller" (i.e. the chipset) For my Scenic Mobile 510 everything works fine under DOS, NT 5 (though _this_ Windoze _has_ advanced features) and Linnux. mirabilos
