apport information ** Description changed:
I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my Samsung R439 Laptop. The keyboard works fine normally, but once I change the brightness by using the Fn+Cursor key combo, then the keyboard stops working. If I press Fn+Up or Fn+Down just once, then the brightness keeps increasing or decreasing continuously and then nothing works. I am unable to type anything using the keyboard. Nothing on the panel works and the color changes upon hovering, but click action just doesnt work. Basically other than moving around the mouse cursor and scrolling up and down the currently open window, nothing else works. The only way out is to press the power button and reboot the system. No other window or menu opens up. I can provide any logs or any extra details that you might want.
