This is also happening to Acer Aspire Timeline 5810T and 4810T on Ubuntu 9.10, 10.04, and 10.10.
A similar bug post: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/573373 I tried "Step-by-step Troubleshooting" from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hotkeys/Troubleshooting The Fn+Right/FN+Left (brightness down/up) keystrokes appears in Terminal (step 2 from link above) so the buttons work, system recognizes them. *** But after pressing Fn+Right/FN+Left Ubuntu 10.10 completely freezes and I have to hard reset. *** Pressing touchpad button stops operate touchpad, yes, but until next restart you cannot re-enable it. Same behavior is under Windows, this seems to be a BIOS bug. -- Screen brightness adjustment does not change at all on my Acer Aspire Timeline 5810TZ https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/660917 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
