Bug Description
Mint9, x64, on a Toshiba with core2duo (intel t5200), centrino (intel graphics, wifi, lan):
I have a very standard and prevalent chipset (and graphics).
The Fn keys are not detected on install, and don't work with ANY of the utilities available in Synaptic. )Most importantly (to me) is brightness control, as this laptop is now used more as a stationary machine, but to others the other FN key functionality is probably quite important as well.)
It was working at one point, in Mint 8. But then reinstalled Mint8 and it no longer worked (some things were disabled in Mint8 in the end, and taken out of hte repositories, while they were working on the next release Mint9 - I can think of Skype and a couple of others, for example). So they probably already know what that is, and it's probably easy to put that back in again.
