I have exactly the same problem and exactly the same laptop. I would be very very happy to see this fixed at least for 14.04.
I have 14.04 installed right now on this laptop but I still have the same problem with the function keys. In case you need to do any tests in 14.04 release, please let me know if I can be of assistance. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1229591 Title: 8086:0116 [Dell Inspiron 14z (N411z)] Display brightness keys don't generate evdev events after saucy upgrade To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1229591/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
