Bug Description
Binary package hint: acpi
In Intrepid, though my volume and brightness keys do still control volume and brightness, they no longer give any visible response on-screen. That is, while I can still raise, lower, or mute the volume with the hardware volume buttons, no change is registered by the volume applet; it does not visually identify itself as muted when muted, nor does its level change when the actual volume is changed. There is no onscreen volume display either, and what's more, xev doesn't register volume keypresses.
With brightness, there is again no onscreen display or indication (aside from the brightness actually changing); however, xev does register keypresses, as shown in the attachment.
I'm reporting this as an ACPI issue; however, I'm not sure where the true problem lies.
Did this function properly in hardy or has it never worked?
