Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kubuntu-default-settings

13:05 < jdong>     state 0x0, keycode 233 (keysym 0x1008ff02, 
               XF86MonBrightnessUp), same_screen YES,
13:05 < jdong>     state 0x0, keycode 232 (keysym 0x1008ff03, 
               XF86MonBrightnessDown), same_screen YES,


These are the brightness adjustment keys on my Macbook as reported by xev.

Yet /usr/share/kubuntu-default-settings/kubuntu.xmodmap remaps them as:

keycode 232 = XF86Stop
keycode 233 = XF86Forward


The result is that brightness keys do not work in Kubuntu.


IMO we shouldn't be blindly mapping keys like this that aren't standardized -- 
they should be per-keyboard quirks, not system-wide defaults!

** Affects: kubuntu-default-settings (Ubuntu)
