Package: nvidia-kernel-2.6.23-1-amd64
Version: 100.14.19-1+2.6.23-1
Severity: normal
The nVidia driver does not seem to take into account the up and down
hotkeys to control the brightness of the LCD back-light on a Compaq nw9440.
The only action taken into account is the Fn-F11 hotkey that switch
between manual and automatic brightness control using the ambient light
sensor.
But in manual mode, the back-light is always on full brightness and this
cannot be changed with hotkeys Fn-F9 and Fn-F10.
This behaviour is in the nVidia drivers for 6 months at least.
If I use the free Xorg driver instead, it does work fine on this issue.

Since we haven't heard from the submitter since we asked for more information
a few months ago, I assume the problem does no longer exist and I'm closing
this report now.
If the problem is still reproducible with current driver versions (195.36.31-6
in testing/unstable or 260.19.21-1 in experimental), feel free to reopen this
bug report.
