On an xps 1330, I had previously solved the problem by removing "blacklist video" from /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist (as suggested by a previous comment).
After upgrading to 2.6.27-8, the problem does not appear, even when I put back "blacklist video". -- 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
