Title:
  Sony Vaio VPCS132FX/B Ambient Light sensor does not work

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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?
