Bug Description
The Samsung Q45 does not send key release events for several Fn-keys.
Bug #295251 describes the same misbehavior on another Samsung notebook (NC10) for which a fix was released.
As the Q45 uses the same keycodes as the NC10, I extended the fix with the DMI information of my Q45, which works great on my machine, and finally lets the lcd brightness be adjusted via Fn-keys.
Please include this patch before the release of jaunty.
Thanks!

@pittipatti,
I've applied the patch and built some test kernels. Please can you select and install the appropriate kernel deb package from the URL below and let me know if this works.

Once you've OK'd it I will push it through the Stable Updates Release (SRU) process. Thanks!
