Dear All,

I installed Ubuntu Jaunty (x64) on my new VAIO VGN-Z31XN. I installed
the sony-laptop-0.9 module and followed the tutorial posted here to
turn off either nvidia or intel.

When using intel, the Fn5 and Fn6 keys work well for decreasing and
increasing brightness.
When using nvidia, the keys bring up a notification slider for
brightness but changing its position does not do anything.

I also found that from the command line I can set the brightness level using
smartdimmer -s <brightness level 15-100>

Is there a way to hook this to the Fn5 and Fn6 keys when using nvidia?
All the best,
Romuald
