I have upgraded to the Gutsy beta release and still have this problem. Further, I tried opensuse10.3 (beta) and did NOT have this problem (though I had others, unrelated to X). So I don't think it is unsolvable. However, I did not investigate the differences between SUSE and ubuntu very much as I needed to get back to ubuntu quickly (I need to use this laptop for work). I'll add that the ubuntu problem seems to affect any of the keys controlling the video card...the keys to brighten or dim the monitor also do not work.
