there's no difference between 0x1d8 and 0x01d8 in hexadecimal. This is
like 10 and 010 : leading 0 are not significant (0x is a prefix to
notice hexadecimal number).
472 = 4 x 100 + 7 x 10 + 2 = 1 x 16^2 + 13 x 16 + 8 = 0x1d8 = 0x01d8

I can't reproduce this problem. I currently use v0.5-1 package.
You can try to remove my package (dpkg -r hal-sony-lcd-wa), verify that
/etc/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor no longer contains 10-sony-laptop-panel-
mgmt-policy.fdi.
Then see if your HAL initialization error still occurs.

If this doesn't work out of the box for you, I am pessimistic about make it
work. But we can try :
- in a terminal window, run the 'acpi_listen' command
- press your brightness up and brightness up key
- copy the lines printed (here it is :

I updated my packages.
- your computer id (VGN-FE48E) is used to enable the smartdimmer use
- I integrate the suggestion of yleetiny to comment out the two exit. They are
harmful because your computers (and not mine) provide a standard and not
working method which disables smartdimmer
Try these
I'm currently running hardy and it works for me (minus new bugs).
Do you try to use the smartdimmer -s number command ? Does it work ?
For me Fn key works quite well since a long time (because they are
binded via acpi event scripts to smartdimmer). The fix presented here is
for the hal subsystem
yleetiny : I'm french too. I updated my package with your system name so
the package should work for you (but I don't comment out the exit line
in the panel scripts because it works perfectly here).

Same question.
My little update on this point :
- the gnome-power-manager bug talked about here is corrected (and was not
related to my patch)
- my patches are still valid : I currently use them on a feisty install
regularly updated.
fdi policy file is right. I download it and it is the same I keep here.
The only problem I have is that if I click on the link, Firefox try to
open the file (because it is xml) and only displays text nodes. So I
need to right click and download.
You're right for the shift on brightness value. So
Filtering on GPU is a bad idea because I think there is also computers
with nvidia chip and correct acpi implementation.
You're right for num_levels.
I have the same problem of brighness going to 0 then going to the right
brightness. It seems to be a gnome-power-manager bug (I don't have this
smartdimmer comes from smartdimmer package from main.
It seems to be a good idea to set smartdimmer as a dependency of the hal
package if my solution is accepted. smartdimmer is also a dependency of
acpi-support.
