Hello, I found a problem trying to change the brightness of my laptop
Dell Inspiron 2200 on Intrepid Ibex using brightness hotkeys (all
hotkeys seem to work properly except the brightness hotkeys).
When I press these hotkeys, the screen brightness changes correctly, but
the brightness dialog appears with a "progress bar" that goes to the
maximum or minimum value, no matter how many times I press the
corresponding hotkey. After that, the dialog stays visible for a long
time (or it simply stays "forever") and locks the keyboard until I
change current terminal with ctrl-alt-FX and return to graphical
terminal.
These hotkeys were working properly on 8.04, and I upgraded to 8.10 from the
Internet (not a fresh install, only upgraded).
I have the latest BIOS for Inspiron 2200. I have read about related bugs in
other models. In power manager options, I have unchecked the option "dim screen
when idle" in ac configuration (this was a possible reason in other models
having the same or a smilar problem). I tried also removing xorg.conf
configuration file, the problem persists.
Brightness hotkeys in Inspiron are Fn+UpArrow or Fn+DownArrow.
Thank you for your help!
