Title:
   Samsung : Brightness controls don't work

Status in “udev” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: hal

  Brightness control keys on a Samsung N210 netbook are not recognized and can't be used to control brightness.
  Those are the up & down cursor keys (FN+UP and FN+DOWN).
  The Brightness is stuck at 100%.

  I am using ubuntu 10.10 daily build. Same issue on kubuntu because it
  is not kde/gnome related but udev/hal related.

  There is a fix available at  https://launchpad.net/~voria/+archive/ppa for lucid and karmic.
  It does solve the issue on several different Samsung machines.
