Try to use my script:
http://shawe.ewahs.googlepages.com/install-FnKeys-sony-nvidia.sh
It autoinstall all necessary things for that FnKeys works. Only is possible
that you need edit this file:
/usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/10-sony-laptop-panel-mgmt-policy.fdi
and add your model of laptop. My solution works detecting a specified laptop
that has a nvidia graphic card.
<match
key="/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer:system.hardware.product"
string="YOUR_LAPTOP_HERE">
<merge key="laptop_panel.num_levels" type="int">20</merge>
<merge key="laptop_panel.access_method"
type="string">sony-nvidia</merge>
</match>
In my case, I replace YOUR_LAPTOP_HERE for VGN-FZ38M.
When you do all changes do this:
/etc/init.d/hal restart
/etc/init.d/acpid restart
or restart your computer.
This solutions works for me and most people on Ubuntu Intrepid and works
already after update to Jaunty. I don't try it after a clean installation of
it, but I thing that also works well.
