Bug Description
When my Samsung Q210 is started, pressing Fn-Down (brightness down) or Fn-Up (brightness up) generates key press event, but do not generate key release. As a result the only thing I can do is to switch to a text console and then switch back. Suprisingly after switching back, the Fn-Down and Fn-Up do work correctly! This problem is 100% reproducible after every reboot.
Note: Following hint in some similar bug description, I have enabled -proposed updates. Now the Down and Up keys (in Firefox, Gnome-Terminal, oowriter) no longer work, although they do work in the Gnome menu. I attach additional xev.log file in which I show that Left and Right are working correctly, while Down and Up are not.

I have the same problem on my samsung r60+. I`ve found a solution: you must patch a kernel to fix it. I`ve remade patch to your`s model (see attachement). Can you try it?
