I have only tried it on my vaio R505GL laptop. I found it out by
rebooting to windows to set the brightness. And then going back to
linux to capture /dev/nvram, and comparing the differences.

I dont really go into windows too often, and it was pissing me off
having to run spiccctrl -b 255 everytime I rebooted linux. :-)

I guess different laptops would store this info into different parts of
the nvram.

If anyone has more info on this sort of thing I would be interested :-)
