Confirming. Only my action is /etc/acpi/sonybright.sh instead of xbacklight.sh.

And on this Sony VGN FE41E there is another thing, which will become apparent when looking at the acpi events associated with these acpi buttons:

  bright+
    sony/hotkey SNC 00000001 00000011 (press)
    sony/hotkey SNC 00000001 0000003b (release)
  bright-
    sony/hotkey SNC 00000001 00000010 (press)
    sony/hotkey SNC 00000001 0000003b (release)
  LCD/EXT
    sony/hotkey SNC 00000001 00000012 (press)
    sony/hotkey SNC 00000001 0000003b (release)
  S1 (user-definable 1)
    sony/hotkey SNC 00000001 00000090 (press)
    sony/hotkey SNC 00000001 00000010 (release)
  S2 (user-definable 2)
    sony/hotkey SNC 00000001 00000091 (press)
    sony/hotkey SNC 00000001 00000011 (release)

It would be nice to bind S1 and S2 to acpi_fakekey, but with the release event of S1/S2 colliding with the press event of bright+/bright-, this still is a bit of a problem.

Nevertheless, it would be a good idea to replace SPIC with (SPIC|SNC) so changing the brightness works out-of-the-box on certain Sony VAIO laptops.
