Bug Description
I am an owner of a Dell Inspiron 9300 laptop. Since I've installed 'Intrepid Ibex,' once I use the keyboard to adjust my brightness (Fn + Up Arrow, Fn + Down arrow), the keyboard becomes, essentially, nonfunctional in any window. The only way to fix it without rebooting the machine is to switch to a virtual terminal (ctrl + alt + F1, for instance) then switch back to GDM. This happens constantly. I've tried a fresh install and it still happens.
