As stated in <https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power- manager/+bug/121833/comments/11>, you can control brightness using hotkeys by adding 'options video no_automatic_changes=0' to some file in /etc/modprobe.d/ and reloading the video module.
I don't know why that change was made, but I think that's what this bug is about, and not some kde package. -- Inspiron 1420 LCD brightness keys broken https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/140782 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
