Hi all,

Today I just compiled the latest Linux kernel 3.2.6 on my Z13.  Once I boot
into KDE, I have 20 usable brightness levels (let's say 0-19).

Then I checkout, compile and install the custom sony-laptop module from:
git://gitorious.org/sony-laptop-zseries/sony-laptop-zseries.git

This module is great because we can limit the battery charger to 80%.  But
unfortunately, with it I only get 5 usable brightness levels (0-4) which is
way too coarse imho!

Does someone know a way to fix this? I looked at the "sony-laptop.c" source
code and the #define SONY_MAX_BRIGHTNESS is equal to 8 in both files...

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,

Joël
