Hi,

+ACPI Sony Notebook Control Driver (SNC) Readme
+----------------------------------------------
+	Copyright (C) 2004 Stelian Pop [off-list ref]
+
+This mini-driver drives the ACPI SNC device present in the 
+ACPI BIOS of the Sony Vaio laptops.
+
+It gives access to some extra laptop functionalities. In 
+its current form, the only thing this driver does is letting
+the user set or query the screen brightness.

Does those laptops support acpi_video?

No. I double checked for a few AML dumps I have here, and except
for _DOS/_DOD present in some of them no other acpi_video method is
supported.

Newer Vaio laptops may eventualy support acpi_video, but all
current (to the best of my knowledge) Vaios do support the SNC device.

Stelian.
