Rolf Leggewie, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number> Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags: kernel-fixed-upstream kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example: kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.11 This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding. ** Summary changed: - hotkeys adjust display brightness non-monotonically on new Asus pinetrail netbooks (1001P, 1005P, 1005PE) + [ASUS 1005p] keys for adjusting display brightness don't work as expected ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/513921 Title: [ASUS 1005p] keys for adjusting display brightness don't work as expected Status in The Linux Kernel: Expired Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: While trying out yesterday's lucid UNR live CD, I found out that the keys for adjusting display brightness (Fn+F5, Fn+F6) don't work as expected on the ASUS 1005p and 1001p pinetrail netbooks. While generally pushing Fn+F6 will increase the screen brightness, it can happen that it will go down (!) or even shut off the backlight when pushing that key combo. I always think maximum screen brightness is never reached. I only got this computer a few days ago and cannot tell whether this is a regression from karmic or not.
