** Description changed: According to Dell Latitude D830 manual, <Fn> and left-arrow key should activate the ambient light sensor, which controls brightness of the display based on light level in the current environment. I've checked it in WinPE and in GRUB - it works well. But in user account in my Kubuntu 13.04 <Fn> and left-arrow key returns: (XEV output) KeyPress event, serial 40, synthetic NO, window 0x4000001, root 0x103, subw 0x0, time 4948865, (162,-13), root:(164,45), state 0x0, keycode 201 (keysym 0x1008ffb1, XF86TouchpadOff), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False So, as we see, this is mistake and it should not return any code because it processes through BIOS and must switch on/of ambient light sensor to operate correctly according to laptop manual.
