On a Sony Vaio VGN-N230N, Fn-F2 (mute), Fn-F3 and Fn-F4 (sound volume up/down) keys are working, but not the others (Fn-F5/Fn-F6 brightness up/down, Fn-F7 LCD/monitor switch, Fn-F12 suspend).

dmesg reports some errors, though:

[ 210.460000] sonypi command failed at drivers/char/sonypi.c : sonypi_call1 (line 646)
[ 210.500000] sonypi command failed at drivers/char/sonypi.c : sonypi_call2 (line 657)
[ 210.544000] sonypi command failed at drivers/char/sonypi.c : sonypi_call2 (line 659)
[ 210.584000] sonypi command failed at drivers/char/sonypi.c : sonypi_call1 (line 646)

I can set brightness up/down with the script "/etc/acpi/sonybright.sh", but power manager doesn't seem to affect the brightness (I set 70% brightness when running on batteries, but it does not change).
