[Bug 910911] Re: pressing keyboard backlight hotkey crashes keyboard input on Dell XPS

[Martin Pitt]

Does it get back if you press ctrl+alt+f1 and then ctrl+alt+f7 ?

Can you please find out the current key/scan code of that key with
"keymap -i", as described on /usr/share/doc/udev/README.keymap.txt.gz ?

Title:
  pressing keyboard backlight hotkey crashes keyboard input on Dell XPS

Status in “udev” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have a Dell XPS M1330. On this computer, the Fn+right arrow key
  combination should change the keyboard backlight. Pressing the key
  combination, however, leads to complete loss of keyboard input to any
  program. Keyboard input can only be restored by rebooting my computer.
