I have the same problem on my lenovo 3000 v200. I think perhaps it has something to do with KMS?
Before upgrading to Karmic I tried installing the latest kernel and enabling KMS in Jaunty, and then i had the same problem. When i disabled KMS, i could use the fn keys again just fine. I hope this helps in fixing the problem somehow. -- [Karmic] Brightness fn keys lost functionality (multiple laptops) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/406515 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
