2008-11-27 02:21:27 Connor Imes description Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager When I unplug the power cord from my Dell 600m laptop, there is some breakage in X with the keyboard and touchpad if the first thing I do is adjust the screen brightness. I can't type, can't move windows, can't change firefox tabs, etc. Some functions still respond, like I can CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE to restart X, and I can login, but the problem persists. The problem is fixed if I change to another tty, then change back to X. connor@lappy686-mk2:~$ uname -a Linux lappy686-mk2 2.6.27-7-generic #1 SMP Tue Nov 4 19:33:20 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager I originally recognized this problem when switching to and from the battery, which is when I had to change brightness. As it turns out, that switch is not necessary - the problem occurs anytime I change the screen brightness with Fn+Up or Fn+Down.

2008-11-27 02:27:24 Nathan Handler gnome-power-manager: statusexplanation I can confirm this bug on a Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop running Jaunty. After adjusting the screen brightness using Fn+Up or Fn+Down, I am no longer able to use the keyboard until switching to a TTY and then back to X.
