Sony Vaio CW1S1E brightness and graphics

Hi all,

I just got a new amazing Sony Vaio CW1S1E with nvidia gt230M graphics.

After installing archlinux and nvidia, the display just stays lack... no way to recover to console. Well I found out that this is caused, because nvidia doens't detect the edid, so I extracted on Win and got it to X.

X is working now, even when ttys stay black..

The other thing is, I cannot adjust brightness. On Win I needed to install the Vaio Events package... is there something simmiliar on Arch?

I compiled a own zen kernel with sonypi enabled, but that doesn't seem to work on arch.

All Fn Keys are working despite the brightness ones.

Any Ideas?
