Sony Vaio VPCS132FX/B Ambient Light sensor does not work to dim backlit
keyboard and display. Backlight for Keyboard stays on constantly with
every key stroke and times out after a bit. Also Power Manager does not
dim display when "On Battery" when the option is checked. This
dramatically kills battery and makes the whole Intel IPM(Intelligent
Power Management) patch useless.... There is a patch for the F Series
posted on http://code.google.com/p/vaio-f11-linux/. This patch only
works with a plain linux kernel meaning I would lose all the Ubuntu
related patches to the plain linux kernel. I'm sure It wouldn't be hard
to apply this to a new kernel release. There has been support added for
Macbooks with the same type of ambient light sensor hardware, is it
possible that this can be streamlined to the Sony Vaio line?
