This is the output I got from screen brightness down:

This is the output I got from screen brightness down:
KeyPress event, serial 37, synthetic NO, window 0x1e00001,
root 0x110, subw 0x0, time 12142853, (289,478), root:(358,796),
state 0x0, keycode 233 (keysym 0x1008ff02, XF86MonBrightnessUp),
same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
Obviously that's only key down, not up.
The setpci command works for me to change brightness. However, the keys
do not change the brightness. I'm also not running gnome-power-manager
so I wouldn't expect this to work.
I was running 9.04 this morning and xev wasn't showing any output for
the keys. However, I upgraded to 10.04 and the issue seems to have gone
away.
Could somebody else try with the daily live cd?
