Volume keys work, but not the two laptop hotkey shortcuts:

By Method 3: For every key press I get two numbers, everyone with a received and completed message.

Shortcut S1:
[Mon Mar 17 21:44:00 2008] received event "sony/hotkey SNC 00000001 00000090"
[Mon Mar 17 21:44:00 2008] received event "sony/hotkey SNC 00000001 00000010"

Shorcut S2:

[Mon Mar 17 21:45:14 2008] received event "sony/hotkey SNC 00000001 00000011"

Brightness Down (Fn+F5):
[Mon Mar 17 21:46:58 2008] received event "sony/hotkey SNC 00000001 00000010"
[Mon Mar 17 21:46:58 2008] received event "sony/hotkey SNC 00000001 0000003b"

[Mon Mar 17 21:47:59 2008] received event "sony/hotkey SNC 00000001 0000003b"

Display change between LCD/External/Both (Fn+F7):
[Mon Mar 17 21:49:55 2008] received event "sony/hotkey SNC 00000001 00000012"
[Mon Mar 17 21:49:55 2008] received event "sony/hotkey SNC 00000001 0000003b"

Suspend (Fn+F12):
[Mon Mar 17 21:51:11 2008] received event "sony/hotkey SNC 00000001 00000017"
[Mon Mar 17 21:51:11 2008] received event "sony/hotkey SNC 00000001 0000003b"

These are the main Fn functions although there are more like the numeric keypad and block despl.

The model:

sudo dmidecode -s system-manufacturer
Sony Corporation

sudo dmidecode -s system-product-name
VGN-FE31Z

sudo dmidecode -s system-version
C3LN0NJF

Also, brightness don't work even changing the slider in the gnome power management screen and only works using the smartdimmer command.
