Just another piece of information I would like to add. As I said, I have ubuntu 14.04 installed with kernel 3.13.
I have downloaded from here: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.2.59-precise/ the latest 3.2 kernel and installed it. More specifically I downloaded and installed the following 3 packages: linux-headers-3.2.59-030259-generic_3.2.59-030259.201405181035_amd64.deb linux-headers-3.2.59-030259_3.2.59-030259.201405181035_all.deb linux-image-3.2.59-030259-generic_3.2.59-030259.201405181035_amd64.deb I rebooted and then booted with kernel 3.2. So my system was 14.04 but with kernel 3.2. Much to my surprise the brightness function keys did NOT work !!! I booted a live USB with ubuntu 12.04 (kernel 3.2) and the brightness keys worked just fine. So, is it NOT a kernel thing? Is it something else??? What could it be...???? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1229591 Title: 8086:0116 [Dell Inspiron 14z (N411z)] Display brightness keys don't generate evdev events after saucy upgrade To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1229591/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
