I'm having this problem on my HP Pavilion dv7, as I did on my HP Pavilion dv6. I'm currently using Isadora 10 64-bit with kernel 2.6.35-23-generic, (and I experienced the same problem with normal Ubuntu Maverick 64-bit). I can change the brightness as normal using the fn keys and with the normal Gn

Yeah, after the update manager crashed, I foolishly ran the upgrade from the terminal, allowing it to remove unity and ubuntu-desktop, both of which I can no longer install because of unmet dependencies. And I can't undo what I did and downgrade the packages (as far as I know--is there a way to do
