I see here in my logfiles, that you have runn at least once with
Kernel 3.0.4-030004-generic. On that one the sysctl' and battery
life-savings normaly will work.

I did not yet answer this question (XQ's me): No, you will have to
handle those files in /sys/devices/platform/sony-laptop with echo and
cat. You can write your own wrapper to do that for example with a
zenity frontend. I did only not yet find the motivation for it but I
will certainly make my own ey-candy solution in near future ;)
When it runs nice and simple, I will post a link here in this list..
