Using Ubuntu on Sony Vaio laptop with Nvidia 8 vga card, the Fn keys doesn't work and brightness cannot be adjusted easily.by hotkeys... |
Using Ubuntu on Sony Vaio laptop with Nvidia 8 vga card:
There is no way to control backlight brightness on Sony Vaios with 8-series adapters, e.g.
nVidia Corporation GeForce 8400M GS
nVidia Corporation GeForce 8600M GT (rev a1)
Apparently this is an issue with notebooks having their own registers in which backlight brightness is stored, and these are unknown to nVidia for Vaios, and no-one seems to know how to recover them.
Earlier nVidia cards are supported by SmartDimmer - the SmartDimmer developer says he just needs the register values to add support for the 8-series.
Because there is no control at the hardware level, making calls to sonybright.sh with hotkeys does nothing.
Dual-adapter models (SZ6 among others) can get backlight control with the Intel adapter using xbacklight, and can get hotkey functionality as per bug #173652 |

Using Ubuntu on Sony Vaio laptop with Nvidia 8 vga card:
There is no way to control backlight brightness on Sony Vaios with 8-series adapters, e.g.
nVidia Corporation GeForce 8400M GS
nVidia Corporation GeForce 8600M GT (rev a1)
The registers have been found (kudos to mikes!). See these hacked nvclock sources for fixed versions which can set backlight on Sony Vaios:
http://stud.matrixcode.de/nvclock_hacked_seek.tgz
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/18755253/nvclock_hacked.tgz
To install nvclock, download one of the tgz files above (these instructions assume you use seek's version), then:
]$ tar -zxvf nvclock_hacked_seek.tgz
]$ cd nvclock0.8b3a
]$ ./autogen.sh
]$ ./configure
]$ make
]$ sudo make install
To test, make sure you are using nVidia's proprietary driver, then:
]$ sudo nvclock -S 100
]$ sudo nvclock -S 5
]$ sudo nvclock -S +10
So far mikes' registers have been found to work on:
8400M GS on VGN SZ650N
8400M GT on VGN FZ38M, FZ11Z, NR31, AR41E, FZ11S, FZ290
8600M GS on VGN FZ31Z
Add your model to the list by clicking on the "Update description / tags" link, NOT by asking in a bug comment for someone else to do it.
Invoking sonybright.sh with hotkeys will do nothing until the script calls new versions of either SmartDimmer or nvclock properly. I have opened bug #286978 against smartdimmer to encourage support for nVidia 8 series on Sony Vaios. Please feel free to visit that bug and click on the 'me too' link at the top.

Using Ubuntu on Sony Vaio laptop with Nvidia 8 vga card:
There is no way to control backlight brightness on Sony Vaios with 8-series adapters, e.g.
nVidia Corporation GeForce 8400M GS
nVidia Corporation GeForce 8600M GT (rev a1)
The registers have been found (kudos to mikes!) and incorporated into
nvclock, which you can check out by anonymous cvs and install:
]$ sudo apt-get install cvs
]$ cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@nvclock.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/nvclock login
]$ cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@nvclock.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/nvclock co -P nvclock
]$ cd nvclock
]$ ./autogen.sh
]$ ./configure
]$ make
]$ sudo make install
To test, make sure you are using nVidia's proprietary driver, then:
]$ sudo nvclock -S 100
]$ sudo nvclock -S 15
]$ sudo nvclock -S +10
So far mikes' registers have been found to work on:
8400M GS on VGN SZ650N, SZ61MN/B, SZ750N, SZ71MN/B
8400M GT on VGN FZ38M (only in console, not with FN keys), FZ11Z, NR31, AR41E, FZ11S, FZ290, FZ250AE, FZ21E, FZ21M, FZ470E, FZ340E
8600M GS on VGN FZ31Z, FZ21Z
8600M GT on VGN AR51SU, AR71S
Add your model to the list by clicking on the "Update description / tags" link, NOT by asking in a bug comment for someone else to do it.
To get hotkeys to work, follow the instructions in this comment:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hotkey-setup/+bug/95444/comments/75
Dual-adapter models (SZ6 among others) can get backlight control with the Intel adapter using xbacklight, and can get hotkey functionality as per bug #173652. |

There is no way to control backlight brightness on Sony Vaios with 8-series adapters, e.g.
nVidia Corporation GeForce 8400M GS
nVidia Corporation GeForce 8600M GT (rev a1)
The registers have been found (kudos to mikes!) and incorporated into
nvclock, which you can check out by anonymous cvs and install:
]$ sudo apt-get install cvs
]$ cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@nvclock.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/nvclock login

]$ make
]$ sudo make install
To test, make sure you are using nVidia's proprietary driver, then:
]$ sudo nvclock -S 100

Using Ubuntu on laptops with Nvidia Geforce8/Geforce9/Quadro vga card:
On various laptops from Sony, HP, Samsung and others there is no way to control backlight brightness. In case of Sony e.g. on Vaios with 8-series adapters, e.g.
nVidia Corporation GeForce 8400M GS

The registers have been found (kudos to mikes!) and incorporated into
nvclock, which you can check out by anonymous cvs and install:

hotkey-setup: statusexplanation |

This is definitely not a hotkey-setup issue; the hotkey-setup package only handles setting kernel keymaps for hotkeys, and is deprecated in favor of hal-info besides.
I had the opportunity this week to test out hotkey mappings on a variety of laptops, including one Sony Vaio, and the brightness keys appear to be recognized correctly as keys - and the brightness was adjusted as well. I don't know if this was an nvidia-based system, but at least I didn't see any evidence that the keypresses themselves were not recognized correctly.
If you have reason to think that the keypresses are not being recognized on your system (as opposed to us just not having a good way to *handle* those keypresses on Ubuntu), please follow https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hotkeys/Troubleshooting and report back with your results. |

This seems to be an nvclock issue rather than -nvidia. Even if it was an -nvidia issue, it is not likely anything could be done about it since it's a proprietary binary driver. Dropping task. |

The sony scripts were dropped from acpi-support because based on testing, these events were believed to now be handled in the kernel input layer. If your brightness hotkeys on sony work when you downgrade to the intrepid version of acpi-support, but stop working when upgrading to the jaunty version, then please open a new bug report against acpi-support with information about your model and include the output of both 'showkeys' and 'acpi_listen' when pressing these keys.
If it's a bug, it's an entirely separate bug from the one this bug report is about, so closing the acpi-support task. |

Using Ubuntu on laptops with Nvidia Geforce8/Geforce9/Quadro vga card:
On various laptops from Sony, HP, Samsung and others there is no way to control backlight brightness. In case of Sony e.g. on Vaios with 8-series adapters, e.g.
nVidia Corporation GeForce 8400M GS
nVidia Corporation GeForce 8600M GT (rev a1)
The registers have been found (kudos to mikes!) and incorporated into
nvclock, which you can check out by anonymous cvs and install:
]$ sudo apt-get install cvs
]$ cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@nvclock.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/nvclock login
]$ cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@nvclock.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/nvclock co -P nvclock
]$ cd nvclock
]$ ./autogen.sh
]$ ./configure
]$ make
]$ sudo make install
To test, make sure you are using nVidia's proprietary driver, then:
]$ sudo nvclock -S 100
]$ sudo nvclock -S 15
]$ sudo nvclock -S +10
So far mikes' registers have been found to work on:
Apple laptops
{
Macbook 5,1 Aluminum 13.3" (Geforce 9400M)
}
HP/Compaq laptops
{
8510W (Quadro FX 570M, MXM)

}
Samsung laptops:
{
Q210 (Geforce 9200M)

}

}
Zepto laptops
{
Geforce 9600GT based laptops using MXM cards
}
Add your model to the list by clicking on the "Update description / tags" link, NOT by asking in a bug comment for someone else to do it.
To get hotkeys to work, follow the instructions in this comment:

Dual-adapter models (SZ6 among others) can get backlight control with the Intel adapter using xbacklight, and can get hotkey functionality as per bug #173652. |
