The brightness keys in my vostro 1000 and Ubuntu 7.10 are completely dead. Before upgrading they keys behaviour was vey weird.
I still don't know where is the problem, and I don't have any solution. I just can change the brightness manually using (*without* blacklisting video module). At least is a temporary solution to me: First, view all the possible levels in LCD brightness file: cat /proc/acpi/video/VGA/LCD/brightness choose one, say X level (for example 75), and echo 75 | sudo dd of=/proc/acpi/video/VGA/LCD/brightness Adding the option 'no_automatic_changes=0' doesn't works completely for me. It just let me push the brightness down (Fn+UP doesn't works) and only using a pure terminal (i.e. CTRL+ALT+F1). The "brightness miniapplication" (I don't know the exact name in english) doesn't works. The gnome-power-manager doesn't shows me any option to adjust the brightness.
