Looks like the patch has recently been applied to the Intrepid kernel. A kernel which contains this patch will eventually be uploaded to intrepid-proposed for people to test. We'll try to update you when it's available. Thanks.

There's an existing quirk in the kernel to handle this, but it's limited to the Latitude range. This patch extends it to cover all portable Dells. -- Losing keyboard and mouse control when changing screen brightness with fn + arrow under intrepid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/285323 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
