I agree totally with Wirawan. This bug, though small, is very serious. I found the workaround Ctrl+Alt+Fx by myself because I wanted to check the problem from the command line, but there are more and more users out there who have no idea that their Linux has six text terminals. The only thing they know is: if I use completely normal keys on my keyboard, Linux crashes. Their conclusion will be that Ubuntu, or Linux in general, sucks.
My setup, in case anybody is interested: Inspiron 1150, Linux inspiron1150 2.6.27-9-generic #1 SMP Thu Nov 20 21:57:00 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux. o...@inspiron1150:~$ sudo dmidecode | grep -i -a1 -b1 "Vendor"; sudo dmidecode | grep -i -a1 -b1 "Product Name" 372-BIOS Information 389: Vendor: Dell Computer Corporation 424- Version: A05 1278- Manufacturer: Dell Computer Corporation 1319: Product Name: Inspiron 1150 1367- Version: Not Specified -- 1546- Manufacturer: Dell Computer Corporation 1587: Product Name: 0F3553 1609- Version: I am very grateful for all the people here who have spent time debugging this!

I hope the patch is incorporated in the kernel soon. -- 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
