I think the problems that the dev's are having with the VAIO laptops, are due to the chipsets that the different models use.

VGN-FS215E = 915GM
VGN-FS115MR = 915PM
VGN-FE11H = 945PM Express

I think that the brightness changes work with the GM chipsets, but not the PM one's.

Also.. I know that the FS series of laptop's, don't have the hardware that works with the sonypi module & I'm pretty certain that the FE series are almost identicle to the FS one's, except they have DualCore chips in them.

VGN-FS spec sheets in .ods format (openOffice)..
Europe & UK = http://trip2002.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/FSVAIO.ods
USA = http://trip2002.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/FSVAIOusa.ods

I think that this is the reason that the devs are having so much trouble with these laptops. They get one of the chipsets working, but break it again when trying to get the other one working too.
It's like they are chasing their own tails..
