Bug description:
  Binary package hint: hotkey-setup

  Most of the fn-hotkeys don't do anything on a Vaio TX2 (specifically
  I'm using a TX2XP, running Edgy (clean install)).

  Here is the run-down. None of these cause anything to appear in
  /var/log/acpid.

  Physical buttons below screen:
   "AV Mode" (text): nothing from showkey, not seen by Keyboard Shortcuts.

   Play/Pause symbol: showkey shows 0xe0 0x22 (down), 0xe0 0xa2 (up). Keyboard Shortcuts displays this as "XF86AudioPause" if you assign it to something, but it is not assigned to Play by default.
   
   Stop symbol: showkey prints 0xe0 0x24 (down), 0xe0 0x24 (up). Keyboard Shortcuts doesn't see anything.

   Previous track symbol: showkey prints 0xe0 0x10 (down), 0xe0 0x90
  (up). Nothing in Keyboard Shortcuts.

   Next track symbol: showkey prints 0xe0 0x19 (down), 0xe0 0x99 (up).
  Nothing in Keyboard Shortcuts.

   Eject symbol: nothing in showkey or Keyboard Shortcuts.

  Physical buttons on front of laptop:

   Mute symbol: nothing in showkey or Keyboard Shortcuts.

   Vol up: ditto
   Vol down: ditto

  Fn+F-keys: None of these causes showkey to print anything, nor does
  Keyboard Shortcuts see them. They are:

   Fn+F5 is "brightness down"
   Fn+F6 is "brightness up"
   Fn+F7 is LCD/external toggle
   Fn+F10 has a magnify symbol
   Fn+F12 has a "zzz -> disk" (hibernate) symbol.

  sonypi is mentioned in the boot log, but doesn't appear to load
  successfully. If I modprobe sonypi, it reports "No such device".

  /proc/acpi/sony contains 'brightness' and 'brightness_default'.

  'dmidecode -s system-manufacturer' gives "Sony Coroporation".
  'dmidecode -s system-product-name' and 'dmidecode -s system-version' print a blank line.
