The Issue: my notebook, like most, has brightness keys on the keyboard. TO use them, one must hold the Fn key, and press the brightness keys. no big deal, it worked, until bk5. Now the system freezes and is unresponsive to pings the moment i try to change the screen brightness.
When switching to the bk5 update, I had to enable APIC support, and io-
apic support as ACPI is now dependant on them. THis is the only configuration change in the kernel since the initial 2.6-test3 (which worked). Is it possible that some acpi update (i doubt apic itself would be responsible) is causing this? Last time i checked, the brightness keys did not send a keycode and were acted on in the bios, but i never checked to see if they sent acpi events. Does anybody have any ideas what might be causing this? or better yet, how to resolve?
