I can confirm this bug on a Dell M90 My bug report is a duplicate #285795
1. I installed Ubuntu Intrepid (8.10) on a Dell Precision M90 2. When Gnome starts up, off power, it will automatically change the brightness. When you move the mouse the brightness increases 3. If you manually change the brightness without moving the mouse, Gnome will stop being responsive and you can no longer use any menus or type anything. 4. I can reproduce this problem at any time by following the same steps 5. I am using the Nvidia 177 restricted driver -- X never sees brightness key release events https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/261721 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
