Darn, meant to add new info rather than change the original description... Anyway, I found a kernel from around the time Maverick alpha1 was released - Linux 2.6.35-020635rc3-generic x86_64 from Ubuntu's mainline kernel repository> http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel- ppa/mainline/v2.6.35-rc3-maverick/ and indeed the buttons now work perfectly. xrandr --prop still shows two Backlight properties and and KDE's brightness indicator rarely shows up when it should (I've seen it once or twice in ~2 minutes I've played with the buttons) which didn't happen before but I could live with that.
Interestingly, showkey -s now reports nothing upon pressing either of the brightness keys. Setting the brightness through software (Powerdevil, xrandr --set) still works fine. ** Attachment added: "dmesg.rc3" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/629358/+attachment/1756714/+files/dmesg.rc3 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/629358 Title: Incorrect response to Brightness Up/Down keys -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
