This bug has been fixed upstream since 2.6.34-rc6 by this commit: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=3143751ff51a163b77f7efd389043e038f3e008e
I've rebuilt the i915 module in 2.6.32 with the patch above and the brightness keys are working again as expected. I've been using this for almost a month already, no hiccups or whatsoever. That being said, I hope that the Ubuntu kernel devs will backport the fix, which has been available for about FOUR months now, as soon as possible. This bug is really annoying but can be readily fixed. Thanks. -- Brightness fn keys lost functionality (Lenovo laptops) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/406515 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
