Comment 75 for bug 95444

I've already got FN keys to work. It's pretty easy. In /etc/acpi/events
there are a number of files. You can copy or change the sony brightness
files.

First change the key event. To find out which key code you need run
'acpi_listen' and press the brightness up and down keys. For me it was
'sony/hotkey SNC 00000001 00000011' and 'sony/hotkey SPIC 00000001 00000010'
(if I remember correctly..). Put these codes on the 'event=' line in the
sony-brightness-up and sony-brightness-down files.

Secondly, you need to change the commands. Since nvclock segfault if no
homedir is set, use 'HOME=/root nvclock -S +10' or 'HOME=/root nvclock -S
-10' as the 'action='.

I hope this helps, if not, please say so. I don't have my laptop with me
right now so I can't upload my configuration files. (But i'm willing to do
that later.)
