Ok, I've confirmed the problem here.  The following setting:

  info.addons = {'hald-addon-generic-backlight'} (string list)

is not what we wanted, we wanted

  org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.LaptopPanel.method_names =
{'SetBrightness','GetBrightness'} (string list)

and I can see how the patch that was applied is buggy, it short-circuits
because linux.sysfs_path is set.

Martin, what's the appropriate way to address this?  Duplicate the logic
from 10-laptop-panel-mgmt-policy.fdi in 10-sony-laptop-brightness.fdi?

** Changed in: hal (Ubuntu Jaunty)
       Status: Fix Released => Triaged
