BakLAN, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any
activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If
so, could you please test for this with the latest development release
of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com
/daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:
apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Title:
[Dell Latitude D830] Fn+Left does not enable ambient light sensor
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
According to Dell Latitude D830 manual, <Fn> and left-arrow key should
activate the ambient light sensor, which controls brightness of the
display based on light level in the current environment. I've checked
it in WinPE and in GRUB - it works well. But in user account in my
Kubuntu 13.04 <Fn> and left-arrow key returns:
(XEV output)
KeyPress event, serial 40, synthetic NO, window 0x4000001,
root 0x103, subw 0x0, time 4948865, (162,-13), root:(164,45),
state 0x0, keycode 201 (keysym 0x1008ffb1, XF86TouchpadOff), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
So, as we see, this is mistake and it should not return any code
because it processes through BIOS and must switch on/of ambient light
sensor to operate correctly according to laptop manual.
