Hi all, since upgrading Wheezy -> Jessie, I have areproducible issue. I'll try my best to describe my setup, should anything be missing please ask for clarification.
Environment Lenovo T400 Jessie (i686) GNOME 3.14.1 I boot normally and log in. When pressing Fn+Home to increase brightness or Fn+End to decrease brightness, I observe a very sluggish behaviour of the on screen brightness display (i.e. the "indicator icon" with the bar beneath, not the brightness itself which changes instantly): It takes almost one second before the icon comes up and the change in brightness is reflected on the osd. Secondly, when repeating keypresses to change to brightness, the indicator kind of "locks up", flickers (not the whole monitor, only the brightness indicator) and then the following message comes up: "Could not grab your keyboard. A malicious client may be evesdropping on your session or [...]". After this, my keyboard is "gone" in X, i.e. no single keypress has any effect in any X application. The mouse functions normally, as do applications. Changing to a virtual console via Ctrl-Alt-F1 works, and the keyboard is functioning normally there. Nothing strange in Xorg.0.log or Xorg.0.log.old. I think brightness is managed through standard ACPI control: thinkpad_acpi: detected a 16-level brightness capable ThinkPad thinkpad_acpi: This ThinkPad has standard ACPI backlight brightness control, supported by the ACPI video driver thinkpad_acpi: Disabling thinkpad-acpi brightness events by default... thinkpad_acpi: Standard ACPI backlight interface available, not loading native one Any ideas why the indicator may show this sluggish behaviour (which I expect to be the reason for the keyboard malfunction)? jan -- gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 0x514FCA9C F013 93C0 306C 1E31 4E00 09FA 21EC A2F6 514F CA9C
