Following up on my comment: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/261721/comments/16
After upgrading my image to 2.6.27-7-generic I am no longer experiencing the lock-up issues. As I type at this moment I have gone through the whole brightness range (FnUp/Down) and am still able to type and use menus. I had to manually change my menu.lst to use 2.6.27-7 as the installer for 8.10 by default keeps the current GRUB configuration and I had not realized until I ran a uname -r and saw 2.6.24. Here's my output from apt-cache and uname -r. apt-cache policy gnome-power-manager gnome-power-manager: Installed: 2.24.0-0ubuntu8 Candidate: 2.24.0-0ubuntu8 Version table: *** 2.24.0-0ubuntu8 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com intrepid/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status apt-cache policy linux-image linux-image: Installed: (none) Candidate: 2.6.27.7.11 Version table: 2.6.27.7.11 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com intrepid/main Packages uname -r 2.6.27-7-generic I'm assuming that most people commenting to this bug have checked which image they are running, however, it's something that can be overlooked when freaking out about a finger-memory keystroke that render X useless. -- X never sees brightness key release events https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/261721 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
