I have a VAIO VGN-NR230AE and both on Hardy and Intrepid only rc.local/xrandr + manual xbacklight works.
Also on Hardy the functions keys don't even produce any ACPI events according to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/HotkeyResearch (see bug #251665), I haven't tested this on Intrepid yet, though.
