Binary package hint: acpi-support

In /etc/acpi/events/sony-* are events for Sony Vaios and their handlers.
They dont work for all models and some models would require different
scripts. But there are many models with Sony Notebook Controller device,
which does report events as:

sony/hotkey SNC 00000001 00000010

To support both SPIC events and SNC, replace in all sony scripts events
work SPIC to (SPIC|SNC).

So event would look like this:
# /etc/acpi/events/sony-brightness-down

event=sony/hotkey (SPIC|SNC) 00000001 00000010
action=/etc/acpi/xbacklight.sh down

This would get working backlight control for some of nvidia base vaios.
