If I press Fn-F5 to turn the volume up one notch (or F6 to turn it down), the computer will respond to this as if I was holding the keys and not releasing. After this All keys are dead, part from Fn-F5 or Fn-F6. Also it becomes impossible to open the menus in gnome. So The computer needs to be rebooted to work properly again. Fn-F7 and Fn-F8 for screen lighting works flawlessly. I am currently using Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex, kernel 2.6.27-7-generic. It has been present since I first tried 8.10 out with the release candidate. This bug was not present in 8.04, though I have found it in Fedora 9 and 10beta.
