01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G86M [GeForce 8400M GT] (rev a1)

eh... this is known not to be working with sony-laptop. Even though the
DSDT exposes the brightness methods the nvidia cards have their own way
to handle dimming the screen.
You can try with nvclock which works for *some* cards.

For now all sony-laptop can do is enable the Fn keys, I'll add your
model to the DMI list asap.
