    Ah, Mr Cox. You are a truly warm and wonderful human being. I can
    confirm the setbrightness utility at the above URL not only works for a
    picturebook. It works for a Z505GAT as well. That should mean it is OK
    for a Z505LE in the US, too. The LE and GAT are significantly different
    from older Vaios. The older ones all seem to use Neomagic video
    controllers. These new models, and the new Crusoe picturebook, use ATI
    Rage mobility. There might, therefore, be a number of subtle differences
    from the behaviour of older models.


    Now I just need ACPI hibernate to swap space, and a Gnome utility to
    control this brightness thingy in my control panel! Oh, and of course
    that Conexant modem port might be useful sometimes, if it worked!

    Regards,
    Steve
