Problem persisted with kernel version right up to 2.6.27-12, not occurred on the one restart so far since 2.6.27-13 (installed to successfully fix bug 261721) but that means next-to-nothing given the seemingly random occurrence of the bug, no other proposed updates installed, up-to-date in

If it isn't a Dell laptop, it isn't the same bug, file a new bug report. If it's exactly the same cause, i.e. brightness function keys reporting a down but not an up, then the solution will be similar but laptop vendor, possibly even laptop model, specific. This bug is treating Dell laptops with
