Gutsy Screen Birghtness using function keys Dell M1330

[nick]

Binary package hint: gnome-panel

Currently im working on a Dell xps M1330

The function keys to increase brightness are not working. I am able to decrease the brightness at any point but to bring it back is not possible. The screen does return to its brightness when i have left it idle and then start using it again. This is a setting in the power-management section that was changed.

The function keys were working before but this mornings round of patches broke it.

thanks for all the help guys!!!
