Notes
1) There is one issue with the headphone jack. After a fresh install the sound works just fine, but plugging in a headphone won't turn off the pc speakers. This, however, can easily be fixed. Add:
options snd-hda-intel model=sony-assamd
to your /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base file. Restart alsa with:
sudo alsa force-reload
After this all will be fine.
2) For brightness control check out the following blog:
http://vaioubuntu.wordpress.com/2008/12/04/finally-a-brightness-how-to-for-vaio-fw-series/
and follow the instructions for the vaio fw3xx and fw3x series. Good luck!
