Comment 15 for bug 114677

Carl, what about the results of the command?
% dpkg -S i810_drv.so

the reason i ask is because that driver is supplied by two different packages, and i have seen different behavior depending on which version i'm using.

also, and believe me i'm not advocating this, but i was able to get the brightness keys working without the work around by flashing to the latest bios, version 305 (z35f305ag.zip). it was a bit of a white-knuckle experience. the built-in utility within the bios is basically a simple text-based directory navigator and file selector. but since it doesn't support usb, cdrom, or secondary hard drive, you basically have to have some kind of windows partition near the front of your hard drive. i have a fat32 partition near the end of the drive that it didn't even see. surprisingly enough, it can read ntfs. and i have one of those about 10G from the front of the drive. so i downloaded and extracted the bios update, then rebooted and pressed f4 to get into the update utility. once there, i selected the file, z35fag.305, then after it started to apply the update, in a moment of stupidity, i turned my attention away for a few seconds. well when i turned back the laptop had powered itself down. why, i didn't know. so i gritted my teeth and pressed the power button. after way too many seconds of just the fan spinning, it finally brought up the post screen. so i exhaled, said a little prayer of thanksgiving, and went in to confirm the bios settings. after that i booted up, killed off xbindkeys, and tested my brightness keys. i don't know if this also fixes anything else, but i am still working on my suspend/resume issues.
