Bug Description

Before pressing the brightness buttons, the keyboard on a Dell Studio 15 running Intrepid worksfine. After pressing the brightness buttons, the keyboard seems to be rendered useless. Just in case, I have installed the linux-restricted-modules and linux-backports-modules-intrepid packages.

Hi Marc,

This seems like a duplicate of bug 285323 so I'm marking it as such. A patch was recently pulled in to the kernel which should resolve this (see bug 285323). It would be great if you could test the kernel once it hits -proposed to verify this is resolved. Thanks.
