Package: kpowersave
Version: 0.7.3-2
Followup-For: Bug #487179
I'm also experiencing this problem on my Vostro 1500. When the
brightness is at minimum, the first press of fn-up brings the brightness
up to one step away from the maximum, and a second press raises it to
full brightness. Going from maximum to minimum follows a similar
pattern. Running xev and pressing fn-up once gives the following output:
KeyPress event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x3200001,

It looks like somehow multiple keypress events are being generated from
one button press - which is likely what is causing brightness levels to
be skipped. However, the xev output is the same whether or not
kpowersave is running, so would that mean that this isn't a bug with
kpowersave, which is simply allowing the bug to manifest itself by
responding to these events?
