Weeks ago I searched and tried a lot but with no success for my Sony AR51.
Seems to be series specific, maybe even model specific. Thanks to Sony for not providing 64 bit compatible utility versions.

E.g. brightness control: instead of Fn+F5 or Fn+F6 I hit Win+X, Tab (to select the first slider which is brightness), then press arrow keys to change. Then Win+X to toggle Windows Mobility Center away. So I don't even have to move the mouse. This isn't so much slower than hitting Fn+F5/F6 once you are used to it.
Eject: press tiny hardware button or double click optical drive in Windows Explorer or right click->Eject.
S1/S2/AV not working at all. Most standard media keys (Volume, Mute, Play/Pause, Stop ...) work because Windows supports them. Various media player software nowadays does the right thing because programmatically these are as easy to check as any other normal keys.
Problems? See this thread at archive.org.
