Bug Description
Binary package hint: acpi-support
Hello !
I'm using intrepid and jaunty.
Intrepid does support my brightness hotkeys at the begining but one day... they didn't work anymore...
By "work", I mean that gnome was showing a bar representing the brightness, it's no more the case, it shows... nothing.
I am testing jaunty beta and the problem is still present.
acpi_listen recognizes the event :
Brightness down :
sony/hotkey SNC 00000001 00000010
sony/hotkey SNC 00000001 0000003b
Brightness up :
sony/hotkey SNC 00000001 00000011
sony/hotkey SNC 00000001 0000003b
I don't know where the problem come from exactly, maybe a bad script somewhere...
If you need more informations, ask me :)
Thanks !

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and help to improve Ubuntu.
acpi-support is not responsible for handling these hotkeys in jaunty, they are handled through the kernel input event layer.
