Same issues on a Inspiron 1100, adjust brightness using the hotkeys, OSD level comes up and can adjust brightness but then the rest of the keyboard is unresponsive.
$ uname -a
Linux deformedrabbit 2.6.27-9-generic #1 SMP Thu Nov 20 21:57:00 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
Additionally, my BIOS version is A32 (the latest available) and this bug did not exist on the standard hardy distribution; the changing brightness (and volume) hotkeys worked perfectly. I upgraded to intrepid today because of the beautiful perl it contains... what's happening with this bug? Can I upload anything helpful?
