Yep, this should be the right module, not sonypi (the latter is or gets deprecated AFAIK). Jonas: Is sony_laptop loaded out of the box? Then finally outloading works... Jonas, have you checked that you run latest BIOS? If you do not, pls update and post acpidump again.

On my SZ2 fn-keys for brightness works now Then it is probably handled by the sony driver... still I suggest to check that your BIOS is not too old and updating if it is.

Sounds like I have to boot Windows XP then :/ Well, I'll check later. showkey -s shows keycodes when I press q,w,e,r,t,y but no reaction when I press mute/volume buttons.

Mattia, this machine seem to not be (fully?) supported by sony_laptop with latest mainline kernel (11.0 Alpha2 kernel should have a 2.6.24_rc7_git5 based kernel, Jonas might want to double check with uname -r).
Hmmm. The SZ and FS problems should be pretty much unrelated. I'm aware of the FS problem (not the first time I've been reported this problem but it's the first time I'm told that the old sony_acpi worked, see the ubuntu bug report linked in previous comments). While for the SZ it's actually a bit odd the fact that the brightness keys are working while the volume/mute are not. Loading sony-laptop with debug=1 will give some insight on the event handled by the driver and those not. sony-laptop will spit something like [2072229.907364] sony-laptop: event ([15] [21]) at port 0x1080(+0x12) [2072230.055690] sony-laptop: event ([1f] [21]) at port 0x1080(+0x12) [2072230.418895] sony-laptop: event ([16] [21]) at port 0x1080(+0x12) [2072230.572339] sony-laptop: event ([1f] [21]) at port 0x1080(+0x12) if it is receiving the interrupt from the SPIC device.

brightness is even more fun on sony laptops :) NVidia card based laptops are not supported even though they expose both the sony specific SBRT/GBRT for sony-laptop or the ACPI video device. With the GMA based ones results are different, some of them work with sony-laptop and the /sys backlight interface, others work with xbacklight -- Mattia -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

While for the SZ it's actually a bit odd the fact that the brightness keys are working while the volume/mute are not. I expect it is supported through ACPI video driver and BCL/BCM/BQC ACPI video brightness functions though the ACPI "video" module?
My patches to exclude brightness switching between vendor specific and ACPI video driver have not been picked up by Len yet, AFAIK? IMO vendor specific modules like sony_acpi, thinkpad_acpi, asus_acpi, etc. should take their hands of brightness switching functions if the ACPI BIOS parts provide BCL/BCM/BQC functions... Hmm, I should repost them.
I'm told that the old sony_acpi worked I thought sony_acpi is the new one and sonypi the old one?!? Ahh you told me that on longterm everything should get merged (or splitted IIRC), could you give me a short update about that, pls.
Maximillian, Jonas: Can you provide Mattia with the requested info pls. You can add a line like that to /etc/modprobe.conf: options sony_acpi debug=1 so that the option is always passed when sony_acpi is loaded and attach dmesg output to this bug, pls. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Maybe. I've seen ony one SZ DSDT with acpi video driver compliant methods, I can't see them in the attached DSDT.

Well, both sonypi and sony_acpi are old :) sony_acpi never made it to the mainline kernel though. Sonypi drives the SPIC device and sony_acpi the SNC device, both defined through ACPI tables. Functionalites like hotkeys are sometimes related to the SPIC, sometime to the SNC and other functions overlap as well... depending on the laptop model. I picked up both drivers and merged them into sony-laptop which will provide a single interface to the additional vaio functions.

Timo, if it does not exist yet, we should publish a little how-to with the steps you showed me recently how to detect and set up extra keys... IMO this should be placed on opensuse.org so that we can easily link to it in such bugs. It could look like that: In general: A) If handled via keyboard map ============================== Invoke: showkey and hit the key then there should either come a message about the key or a message in dmesg if totally unknown. B) If nothing happened it might be acpi controlled ================================================== Remove polling acpi drivers: rmmod battery rmmod thermal Increase acpi debug messages: echo 0x1f >/sys/module/acpi/parameters/debug_level and hit the key. dmesg |tail there should pop up ACPI messages in dmesg (better double check that there haven't been messages from other ACPI things meanwhile). A) Is AFAIK easy to fix via hal fdi files: /usr/share/hal/fdi/information B) B.1) Could be an easy fix if an ACPI driver already exists and we just need to make sure it loads out of the box. B.2) Or the driver does not know the machine model or the key and needs some more or less simple code to be added to recognise the machine -> needs recompilation of the kernel B.3) Or worst case, there is no driver for the machine or its model yet or WMI the ugly Windows Media Interface stuff is used. For the latter there is at least a framework out now, but pretty sure code needs to be added... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
