Bug Description
Xubuntu 12.04 x86_64
Kernels 3.2.0-27-generic and 3.2.0-29 break some keyboard functionality on Laptop (Model: Samsung NP350u2b).
Specifically the F2 and F3 keys which when pressed with the "Fn" key, causes the screen to get brighter or dimmer. This functionality has become "glitchy." Instead of having multiple levels of brightness, there are now two, plus a weird screen flicker.
Reverting back to 3.2-0-24-generic, resolves the issue.

This does not affect Bonobo.. erased the bonobo package in the "package" field, but I guess that didn't work.
