Comment 10 for bug 6628

Thank you Peggy, at last some FN keys work on my FS215E and Feisty.

attached file contains sony_acpi.tar.gz from developer.berlios.de and fsfn-1.1-take2.tar.gz from http://www.gagme.com/greg/linux/vaiofj-fc5.php

needed dev files: libasound2-dev and libxosd-dev

for sony_acpi : sudo make install

for fsfn : ./configure and sudo make install
                         cp debian/fsfn /etc/init.d
                         sudo update-rc.d fsfn defaults

create a minimalist /etc/fsfn.conf with
BRT_HACK_FJS=1
ALSA_NAME=Front

 add to system/pref/session"/"startup programs": fsfn -o

mute, volume +/-, brightness +/- work now... Victory...

Certainly will have to fiddle one day with /etc/fsfn.conf for hibernation, zoom and screen switching but tomorrow is another day;
