Bug Description
Binary package hint: linux-image-generic
1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> About Ubuntu.
Ubuntu 8.10
2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy packagename' or by checking in Synaptic.
linux-image-
Installed: 2.6.27.11.14
3) What you expected to happen
The keys should work as advertised/in the manual or at least cause no bad side effect and produce a useable event (acpi, keycode, whatever)
4) What happened instead
The keys either
a) don't work at all
b) don't generate a key release, thereby locking the keyboard and doing other evil things (like toggling the brightness between 0 and max with only a single keypress)
The issue is already more or less resolved in kernel land:
Bug on kernel.org:

Relevant and working patch from exactly that bug:

It would be great to include this patch asap, since a lot of people use netbooks like this without much tinkering (i.e. building custom kernels). This should be a "just works" machine for traveling/on the road.
