It's a Dell Vostro 1320. The keyboard shortcuts to change brightness were working great until I enabled DRM in the kernel. Can you tell me where in the kernel those options can be found, or part of the variable name that defines them? > And (its only my private opinion - could base on wrong facts :P) dont be > used to hal because the 1.8 xorg-server dont like it any more, > preferring udev, and future versions wouldn't probably support hal at > all. > > Lately i delete hal USE and now iam using udev - excepting auto mounting > usb stick etc. Can anyone confirm that as users we should be moving away from hal? - Grant
