The LCD brightness keys on my Dell XPS m1210 laptop has stopped working. I've tried disabling auto-start of hotkey-setup, but it doesn't help. If i start in single-user mode then the keys do work. When monitoring the output of acpid and pressing the keys I see that it's calling the /etc/acpi/video_brightness{up,down}.sh scripts but nothing happens. I can also see that hal can recognizes the keys by running 'lshal -m' and pressing them. The only way I can set the brightness now is with the GUI-based guidance-power-manager.
