[Bug 145337] Re: Brightness key stopped working after update [Gutsy]

[Andi]

Hi,

just to confirm for DELL Latitude D520 after upgrade Feisty -> Gutsy:

Using Feisty setting brightness worked fine without any problem!
Using Gutsy setting brightness using power manager (also kpowersave) works fine, but NOT using Fn-keys.

1. Exact HW
cat /var/lib/acpi-support/system-product-name

Latitude D520

2. Does these two command (if run from Konsole) change brightness
properly on your laptop?

dcop `dcop | grep power-manager` power-manager brightnessUp

dcop `dcop | grep power-manager` power-manager brightnessDown

yes

3. Does your laptop return same keycodes from brightness up (212) and down (101) as documented on
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KubuntuLaptopKeycodes page? If not, what does it report and what does "lshal -m" report when key is pressed?

19:34:08.983: platform_i8042_i8042_KBD_port_logicaldev_input condition ButtonPressed = brightness-up
19:34:09.413: platform_i8042_i8042_KBD_port_logicaldev_input condition ButtonPressed = brightness-down

I can also confirm working Fn-keys up and down using the old kernel
version 2.6.20-16-generic!!

Many thanks for your efforts!!!
