Comment 27 for bug 285323

I have a simalar problem with 8.10 on a dell latitude d600 everything is fine untill the brightness changes (wether i doit using fn+up/down or ubuntu aotu changes because i don't have the ac power adapter plugged in). Then no keyboard key work except ctrl+alt+backspace and the mouse buttons don't work, only mouse movements do. also when I change brightness with keyboard it changes but the brightness indicator panel doen't show and cpu usage goes straight to 100% and stays there, I am thinking it is haveing a problem opening the indicator panel. also can't change volume with keyboard before or after the main problem insues.
