Hello
I have a Sony Vaio with Kubuntu on it. Sonypi and acpi is loaded, and the "fn" function to lower and increase the brightness works (fn+F5 and fn+F6). However, the lower/increase sound function doesn't (fn+F3 and fn+F4). Mute doesn't work either (fn+F2). This is the output of sudo tail -0f /var/log/acpid when I push fn+LowerBrightness:

but nothing happens (the file voldownbtn.sh exists in the given location btw). For some reason, this worked under GNOME when I used Ubuntu, but not under KDE in Kubuntu. Isn't there a fairly simple script I could add myself in order to get this to work?
A somewhat less prioritized function is the S1 (and S2) key(s) found on Sony Vaio SZ2HP/B.This is the message I get from sudo tail -0f /var/log/acpid when I press the S1 key (looks different from the others):
