Thanks Guido Vicino!
I had the same problem with the Fn + arrow keys to change brightness on my
M1330. I used "blacklist video" in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist as a workaround
for https://bugs.launchpad.net/dell/+bug/226981";>bug #226981.
Removing "blacklist video" fixed the problems with the keys
Sorry for the errors in my last comment.
As an update, when I adjust the screen brightness I am now experiencing
sudden X restarts after removing "blacklist video".
I'm using Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex with all updates on a Dell M1330.

now works in 640x480 on my m1330 again as well. Thank you for taking
care of this bug.
