Sony Viao Screen Brightness
« on: December 23, 2010, 08:32:23 AM »
I have a Sony Viao VPCF111FD.  Everything works with 2010.09 except the screen brightness (Fn keys or power control).  The video card is an nvidia 320M and I'm running nvidia-current.

I've done a wealth of searching and, after some xorg.conf editing and downloading a couple of shell scripts, I finally have the brightness controls working.  But...

After any restart of the X server (sleep, hibernate, logout), the backlight turns off and won't come back on.

Does anyone else have a similar Sony, or a similar problem, or best of all...
A solution?
