Bug Description
Binary package hint: devicekit
Worked fine in 9.04 & previous.
Brightness keys only have failed; all other fn keys still function as intended.
Brightness gnome-panel applet works, but occasionally reports it can't recover data when it can. (not seen since Karmic-RC)
Via KeyboardShortcuts debug process there is no determinable response from the brightness keys at all. All other fn keys give expected output.

I also lost brightness key.
It is frustrating since the screen sometimes is very dark that I can barely see it.
