Hy,
I'm not shure why I've been subscribed to this thread by __
but, in my opinion it's not resbonsibilty of nvidia, because brightness should not only work with the GLX driver also with the standard nv one.
I tried my things today on interpid again with the following result:
ACPI Events are recocnized - but nothing happens BUT from time to time NVclock seems to cause a "report this bug message". The keys on a european FE31m are like folowed:

FN + F12 (suspend to disk)
sony/hotkey SNC 00000001 00000017
sony/hotkey SNC 00000001 0000003b

And that's it,
I'm not shure what is going on in the last time, but it would be easier for me if I would know who does what since at minimum one year it seems for me that no one does anything but all are just reporting the same bug.

PS: if Nvidia should develop a brightness support via Nvclock, what a bout those who aren't using the proprate driver?
