[Bug 77739] LCD brightness setting doesn't work with Sony Vaio VGN-S5M

[LaurentAlmeras]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: hal

LCD brightness setting doesn't work currently with hal in feisty and
dapper release.

It doesn't work because the scripts hal-system-lcd-{get,set}-brightness-
linux relies on acpi methods. But this computer doesn't support
brightness setting with acpi.

Some workaround are needed (like in the acpi package, see
/etc/acpi/sonybright.sh).

I have some scripts modifications I'll upload.

** Affects: hal (Ubuntu)
