Precisions to my previous post as I'm back on my laptop :)

* the file in method 1 is "/sys/devices/platform/sony-laptop/fnkey" (and
not /bla/bla/bla/fnevent" as explained). The answers for each key are in
parenthesis: FN_F2 MUTE (1),  FN_F3 VOLUME DOWN (2), FN_F4 VOLUME UP
(4), FN_F5 BRIGHTNESS DOWN (8), FN_F6 BRIGHTNESS UP (16), FN_F7 SWITCH
DISPLAY (32), FN_F10 ZOOM (128), FN_F12 HIBERNATE (64), S1 (4096) AND S2
(8192). These numbers are the same as for sony_acpi.

* in method 2, you may also look in  "/var/log/acpid" for useful messages. If 
it worked, you should see something in acpid. I only get an error in dmesg:
[   81.400910] atkbd.c: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0xf5 on 
isa0060/serio0).
[   81.400920] atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e075 <keycode>' to make it known.
[   81.512947] atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0xf5 on 
isa0060/serio0).
[   81.512957] atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e075 <keycode>' to make it known.

The message is the same, whichever key I pressed.

* Method 3: See 
http://www.linux.it/~malattia/wiki/index.php/Sony-laptop#Fn_keys_.28hotkeys.29
Output of "/var/log/Xorg.0.log":
...
(**) Vaio keys: always reports core events
(II) Vaio keys: Found 1 relative axes.
(II) Vaio keys: Configuring as pointer.
(II) Vaio keys: Found 1 mouse buttons
(II) Vaio keys: Configured 6 mouse buttons.
...
So it seems to work at this stage, but I don't know what to do after in order 
to check if the fn-keys send signal to the X
