Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: hal
When I press Fn-UP/Down, the brightness is increased / decreased in
double steps.
When HAL is not running, The problem is "solved", but no GUI indication
for brightness levels.
When video module is unloaded, the keys do not work, regardless of whether hal
is running or not.
Loading 'video' with brightness_switch_enabled=0 and restarting HAL do not work.
I have a Dell XPS m1530 with nvidia 8400M, with karmic RC (upgraded from
Beta).
I think this bug is related to bug 43572, but this report is for ubuntu karmic.
