There is no LFP device in my asl file produced by acpidump. Mine
laptop is PCG-V505BX by the way.

As far as I know, sjog and picturebook (/usr/ports/sysutils/sjog &
/usr/ports/graphics/picturebook), which does the same work (set
lid brightness) uses freebsd sony spic driver, whis is similar to
linux sonypi, isn't it? So lack of acpi.video is not a real pain for
me, but ofcourse I want it to work on sony laptops well :)
