It's a fault in how some of the Fn keys don't send the key release code, making the OS think that the key is being held down. I have submitted a patch to the kernel which fixes this issue, allowing the Fn keys (including brightness) to be used properly.
For those who want to see the patch: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12021 To get the brightness to work, you also need to add the following scancode lines to /usr/share/hotkey-setup/samsung.hk scancodes e008 225 scancodes e009 224 You should then find that the brightness works correctly. There is a scancode for the battery to make it work (but I don't have it to hand) The wireless and other buttons are still a work-in-progress -- Samsung NC10 brightness keys block keyboard and produce all-or-nothing effect https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/295251 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
