The sony-laptop module may be worth a try[1], however ISTR
mine defaulted to full brightness unless told otherwise.
I assume the machine came with Windows on it, was it
brighter[2]?

Basically # modprobe sony-laptop
then # cat > /sys/class/backlight/sony/brightness
enter 7 and see what happens.

     if Orange hadn't trademarked it.
