Bug Description

Special hotkeys for setting up/down LCD screen brightness on Dell laptop Inspiron 6400 don't work in Ubuntu 6.10

This hotkey combination (Fn+PgUp/PgDown) works properly in Ubuntu 6.06 and works correctly before Xorg server is started (while the bubuntu logo is displayed during the boot process)

Bug tested with Inspiron 6400 / E1505 bios revision A09 , Inspiron 9400 bios A04
