post upgrade: no sony_acpi module

Hi to the board

I've just upgraded my system .  However, I now receive a 'fatal module' warning when I boot because it cannot find the sony_acpi module.

This means I can no longer dim my laptop screen.

Does anyone know how I can rectify this?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for this.  The module now loads.

However, I still cant dim my laptop.  Before I used to edit the /proc/sony_acpi/brightness/default but that file no longer exists.

Any ideas?

Thanks again.
