    Hello,
    I have so far unsuccessfully tried to get my brightness control working under Vista with my S5-Series notebook and various drivers. Now I'm back to the ones posted by Sony (97.46 I think) Has anyone managed to accomplish this? I couldn't find a setting in the NVidia Control Panel either to change brightness.

    It's the last thing not working, Fn+Volume toggle, S1/S2-Keys, bluetooth, everything works fine.

    Thanks,

    Bomfunk

    Couldn't you use the drivers for the s660?

    I did, but brightness control still doesn't work. Maybe the 100 Series drivers work better or have a software brightness control?
