There are some facts that are different:
1. The new script only works after log on my computer manually, auto login

You can try to remove my package (dpkg -r hal-sony-lcd-wa), verify that

I updated my packages.
- your computer id (VGN-FE48E) is used to enable the smartdimmer use

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.

Ok I've writed an fdi following your instructions and It works on my vaio
FE21M. I think however a shift is needed between the hal values(0-20) and the
smartimmers values (1-21).
value=$((value-1)) in the get method
smartdimmer -s $((value+1)) in the set method
the only strange think is that
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
Ok, I've got your fdi file now, sorry. My smbios.system.product key is
VGN-FE21M. But wouldn't it be preferable to detect the GPU ?
I'm not sure but I think num_levels is 21 : 0.1.2...20 and 1.2.3...21
constitute 21 different levels.
The problem (going to 0 then step up to the desired level)
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

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.
