This is a really old bug (ran across it cleaning out old community wiki
pages). Does anybody still have the hardware to test this with the
latest version of Ubuntu?

Just thought I would add to this. I have the same issue too with a Sony
VAIO VGN-SZ3XWP, brightness works with the function keys but does not
work using the sliders in gnome-power-manager. The output of gnome-
power-manager can be seen below. Funny enough, it did work on a fresh
install, but as
I have the same behavior in Hardy!
The laptop is an ASUS Z96J. Neither the slider that controls brightness
in AC mode works, nor the display is set to of (DPMS off) on timeout.
The light stays always on maximum...
The button shortcuts in the keyboard work nevertheless...
Everything worked
I have the same model - Sony Vaio VGN-NR160E - and installed Gutsy x64 and x32;
all worked fine except for the backlight (didn't try dual monitor).
I tried to install the old sonypi, and so on with no success.
Didn't try new kernel; any luck with that?
Thanks.

[regression]
I did a clean install with updates of Gutsy x86_64 on a new Sony Vaio
VGN-NR160 laptop. Screen backlight control is non-functional from both
the gnome desktop applet and the brightness applet on the launcher
panel. lsmod show the sony-laptop module is loading. I have only a
generic directory
This affects me on Gusty.. Sometimes. Especially after leaving standby.
I'm using a Sony VAIO VGN-FS215M.

I have a sony vaio laptop also and the path for changing the brightness
for me is at /sys/class/backlight/sony/ ; as a workaround i use echo
$value /sys/class/backlight/sony/brightness does that works for you
guys? Do you have an entry regarding the laptop_panel in hal-device-
manager?

I'm using a Vaio VGN-B3XP, and I get a Generic Backlight Device in hal-
device-manager which comes up as laptop_panel and with the /sys/
directory Pedro mentioned. I can see and chat with
/sys/class/backlight/sony/brightness, and pushing values into it affects
my brightness. The sony_laptop and
I asked the gf whose laptop it is to run another update tonight to see if there
were any fixes committed of any sort that might have made a difference.
She did so, and went into power manager and confirmed that the sliders are
working again. So, on her specific model the sliders work again.

Moreover I think the affected package is not gnome-power-manager,
because I couldn't find any entry in /proc that enabled setting the
brightness (IIRC it was something like /proc/acpi/sony/brightness in
