Thanks Guido Vicino! I had the same problem with the Fn + arrow keys to change brightness on my M1330. I used "blacklist video" in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist as a workaround for <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/dell/+bug/226981">bug #226981</a>. Removing "blacklist video" fixed the problems with the keys locking up, but <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/dell/+bug/226981">bug #226981</a> returned.
At least I can change the brightness without locking up the computer, even though I know change it with 4 increments a time. -- 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 Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
