Having the same problem in Dell 640m, (Kubuntu 7.10). The keys worked fine in Feisty. And sometimes, in Gutsy, after restoring from hibernate mode, the keys work again.
1. Exact HW MXC061 2. Does these two command (if run from Konsole) change brightness properly on your laptop? YES 3. Does your laptop return same keycodes from brightness up (212) and down (101) as documented on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KubuntuLaptopKeycodes page? If not, what does it report and what does "lshal -m" report when key is pressed? YES: Start monitoring devicelist: ------------------------------------------------- 14:16:51.564: platform_i8042_i8042_KBD_port_logicaldev_input condition ButtonPressed = brightness-up 14:16:52.460: platform_i8042_i8042_KBD_port_logicaldev_input condition ButtonPressed = brightness-down BUT I have found that the /usr/share/acpi-support/key-constants, says another thing: KEY_BRIGHTNESSDOWN=224 KEY_BRIGHTNESSUP=225 this file is imported (?) when the scritps video_brightnessup.sh and video_brightnessdown.sh are run. I manually changed the values of those constants to 212 (up) and 101 (down), but it did not work. -- Fn-Keys for adjusting brightness of the display does not work anymore in Gutsy on my Dell Inspiron 9400 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/151444 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Team, which is a bug contact for kdeutils in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
