The problem lies in "hal", since the backlight method is wrongly done.
In fact, for every sony laptop, it say to use "echo {1..8} > /proc/acpi/sony/brightness" instead of using smartdimmer or xbacklight.
Laurent Almeras and I modified some "hal" configuration files to make it work with smartdimmer, but we should nvclock instead.

I attached the differents "hal" modified files to make you see how it works.
