sonypid, anyone?

osc~ · 2007-12-10 04:15:20

hello
i just downloaded the sonypid and added it in the daemon rc.conf.
but i still cant use my fn keys to control volume, brightness, etc...
i tried an ubuntu live an it works.
what could i do?
cheers

Vins · 2007-12-10 08:57:13

Make sure module "sony_laptop" gets loaded at boot.
Are you using KDE?

osc~ · 2007-12-10 14:02:59

no, i am using gnome and windowmaker.
should i add sony_laptop in the etc/rc.conf?
cheers

osc~ · 2007-12-12 00:19:14

i added the sonypid in the /etc/rc.conf daemons
and sony_laptop in the modules
but still nothing works
how come it worked in the ubuntu live?
what is missing to install or configure?
thanks

osc~ · 2007-12-20 19:15:13

osc~ · 2007-12-25 02:14:03

This all depens on your model of Sony notebook, aparrently different models do this differently. (Annoying, huh?)

Anyways...the following is from http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-33 … art-0.html <-that thread.

lsmod |grep sony

My VGN-FS742 auto loaded the sony_laptop module.

ls /sys/devices/platform/sony-laptop

If you have 'fnkey' listed in that directory you should be good.

Once you have sony_laptop & the fnkey thing listed, the Ubuntu sripts above may work, or a little program I found called "fsfn" may also work (again, this all depends on your specific model). I just (literally, like 5 minutes ago, then I saw this thread) posted fsfn-svn in the AUR. Give it a shot and see if it does the trick. Reading through the Gentoo forum may be useful as well.

Good luck!

I don't know that sonypi & sony_laptop actually get along. Try unloading or blacklisting one or the other and see if the 'fnkeys' shows up. ?
