Comment 3 for bug 204502

I've hit almost this exact same bug in the Intrepid beta. My symptoms are the same as described in the original bug report, except that the problems appear regardless of whether I hit Fn+up or Fn+down. The little status bar window showing the brightness level that used to come up in Hardy isn't appearing any more, not sure if that is related. I'm on a Dell Inspiron 9300, running 8.10 beta with all updates as of October 13 2008.

Right now I'm running without an xorg.conf, but I think the exact same problem happened while I was still using the one inherited from my upgrade from Hardy.
