I'm sorry, but that's not correct, this is not just a hotkey problem. The Gnome brightness app doesn't work either, as I've stated.
Regardless, I'll still provide the requested information. Using method 1, the key on my laptop to increase the brightness is reported as XF86Forward. The key to reduce the brightness reports as XF86Stop. The identifier information for my laptop is: Manufacturer: Gateway System product name: M-7315U System version: Rev 1 -- Brightness Applet/Brightness Keys Do Not Work In Gateway M-7315u Laptop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/280518 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
