Thanks for trying it out.

The features/events I am interested in is:
Lid events,
Capture keys, if your Vaio have a camera?
Programmable keys,
Help key,
Zoom keys,
Thumbphrase keys,
and Memorystick events.

If your Laptop has any of these features, I would appreciate a report.

Anyway, I have sent the patch to the maintainer, and I am confident he 
know a few people he can ask to try it out.

Well the driver works for me too, but that is not the point,
the point is having a *correct* driver with more features than it 
currently has.

e.g. the "keep LCD brightness setting over reeboot" feature you know 
from Windows.
