Disabling KMS just makes the problem appear less often. This is ultimately a bug in the MSI BIOS, if it chooses to handle the brightness keys in hardware it shouldn't emit keypress events. The power managers such as g-p-m, powerdevel, and xfce4-power-manager need to be told to work around this. For powerdevil patching hal-info would be sufficient as Felix Geyer has suggested, gnome-power-manager doesn't read this because it uses xrandr instead of HAL so I don't know how to fix it. Regarding xfce4-power-manager I don't know either.
This bug is filed against powerdevil, gnome-power-manager, xfce4-power- manager, and hal-info and these need to be fixed. -- brightness is broken on MSI WIND U100 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/415023 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kdebase-workspace in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
