I'm a bit confused, having read all the comments. I have an inspiron 8500, which reports "Dell Computer Corporation" in dmidecode. So I don't appear to benefit from the fix in 2.6.27-11.
Does the above comment > This is a Jaunty kernel only. mean that I won't get this fix until I upgrade to Jaunty in April? ( https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyReleaseSchedule ). If so, should I use the blacklist workaround mentioned, and what are the side effects? (Seeing as I have no idea doing that actually means.) -- X never sees brightness key release events on Dell laptops 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
