** Summary changed:
- X never sees brightness key release events
+ X never sees brightness key release events on Dell laptops
** Description changed:
Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager
Pressing either of the brightness keys brings up the g-p-m brightness
OSD. This has changed recently such that it now steals keyboard focus.
It eventually disappears, leaving corruption on the screen, giving my
caret back. However, I can't type again until I switch to another VT and
back.
It also sometimes doesn't appear at all, or just appears with some
uninitialized texture (but still steals focus).

This is caused by X invoking autorepeat on the brightness keys, as it
never appears to see a release event.

+ This is caused by a bug in the kernel that requires a Dell specific
+ quirk. It has been fixed in -proposed.
