I don't think the sony-laptop module is to blame for such problems. Mind
you, I'm not a Ubuntu user. Did you re-compile the module under 2.6.30?

I know that the reported problems with kernel 2.6.30 are not related to
the sony-laptop module. It was a report about the functionality with the
new kernel.

In your system (with kernel 2.6.30) do you have problems with the
internal microphone? And what is the granularity of the brightness
control with the Intel card?

The internal microphone doesn't work under 2.6.30 here, but didn't work under 2.6.29 either.

For brightness control I use a script of my own which calls xbacklight or smartdimmer, depending on the card. I made a menu for icewm by which the brightness can be set to distinct value (5%, 10% etc.), and mapped the hotkeys to changes of +-1%. This works under both kernels, as there is no direct kernel dependency, AFAICS.

Greetings,
Bernd
