I've just tried the brightness function keys on my 3000 N200, and they do still work while the grub menu is on screen, but stop working as soon as the grub menu countdown finishes and grub starts work.
As others have found, the function keys F10 and F11 produce a normal keycode by themselves, but nothing at all if used with the Fn key to try to generate the brightness keycodes. Other Fn and key combinations all appear to work fine. -- [Karmic] Brightness fn keys lost functionality (multiple laptops) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/406515 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
