With 2.6.27-10 from -proposed the keyboard control for backlight works with 7 levels of dimming up and down.
However, the brightness OSD is still not showing when using the keyboard shortcut. It is only showing briefly when I plug-unplug the power cord and g-p-m updates the brightness level automatically. In fact -10 did not bring visible improvements, or regression, for me compared to -8. $ sudo dmidecode | grep -i -a1 -b1 vendor; sudo dmidecode | grep -i -a1 -b1 "Product Name" [sudo] password for nico: 2879-BIOS Information 2896: Vendor: Dell Inc. 2915- Version: A09 3839- Manufacturer: Dell Inc. 3864: Product Name: Precision M65 3912- Version: Not Specified -- 4129- Manufacturer: Dell Inc. 4154: Product Name: 0JF242 4176- Version: -- Losing keyboard and mouse control when changing screen brightness with fn + arrow under intrepid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/285323 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
