I am also facing the same problem on my DELL PRECISION M4300 (ubuntu 8.10 32bit). I came to know the culprit is "Fn+arrow" due to this bug(thanks to google ..)
alteast I am happy that there is workaround (ctrl+alt+f1 and ctrl+alt+f7).. Until now I had no other option than logout and login.. :( Also since I know the root cause , I might try to avoid it :( But please release the patch ASAP. If there is one and if it doesn't cause other new problems, please point me to it. -- 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
