Sony Vaio brightness control on Lucid

[progre55_icky]

Hi people!

After upgrading to Lucid, the brightness control combination (Fn + F5/F6) is not working on my Sony-Vaio VGN-NW21SF.
On Karmic, it was working fine.

Any suggestions, please?

Same problem. The guides seem outdated or too complicated. I had to do it in 9.04, but I recall it was actually as simple as putting 'sony' or something similiar into some config file... Wish I could remember exactly.

I know this isn't helping. I am not sure if you guys bug reported it. As it is apparently an issue for a decent amount of people in lucid. If that is what you guys are using. Until then, Wait.

Are you using the same model as the first poster? Sony-Vaio VGN-NW21SF

If not what model. Seems some have come up with patches for certain specific Vaio Laptops
