Comment 3 for bug 436702

I have this laptop too and installed Karmic, and I'm having exactly the same kind of issues, only the sound modifier works with the arrows keys, but not the brightness..

I wonder if ubuntu people could manage this things better and without the need of recompiling the kernel we could all have a .deb in backported modules or something that will detect our laptop model, (or a .deb per non-standard laptop) that will tweak your ubuntu detect everything...
