confirming that 2.6.27.8 kernel fixes the problem on DELL Inspiron 9400; (Identified as "Del Inc."). xev no longer shows the KeyPress/KeyRelease loop, and OSD for brightness is working.
However a minor issue I noticed was that brightness up/down steps were not consistent. After going to 100% brightness and reducing using Fn+down, I hit minimum brightness when OSD shows only 50%; OSD goes down to 0% if I keep pressing Fn+down; Now when I increase via Fn+up, it starts to increase properly and and brightness hits max when OSD shows 100% (which is correct). -- 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 Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
