2008-10-14 01:05:00 William Grant gnome-power-manager: statusexplanation The keypress events are actually repeating; X appears to never receive a release event, so invokes autorepeat. We believe it's a kernel bug, but I've no idea where to look.

2008-10-14 01:10:20 William Grant description Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager Pressing either of the brightness keys brings up the g-p-m brightness OSD. This has changed recently such that it now steals keyboard focus. It eventually disappears, leaving corruption on the screen, giving my caret back. However, I can't type again until I switch to another VT and back. It also sometimes doesn't appear at all, or just appears with some uninitialized texture (but still steals focus).

2009-01-30 13:18:04 Kashi Gorton linux: statusexplanation This bug has been fixed by intrepid-updates. If you continue to have problems with a non Dell laptop, please open a NEW bug. The problem has only been partially fixed by released updates, as I said in my previous post the bug has been fixed for the vendor string "Dell Inc." but not for "Dell Computer Corporation". This is exactly the same bug, it's just older Dells with the same bug have a different vendor ID for some reason. The latest kernell (2.6.27-11.27) does not fix the issue on my Inspiron 1100.

Agreed, this is not fixed for Vendor string "Dell Computer Corporation" in Intrepid kernel 2.6.27-11.27-generic, or in Jaunty on the latest kernel 2.6.28-6.16-generic. My laptop is a Dell 600m, I have a duplicate bug filed. Setting back to Triaged, but if more information is still needed, please ask and we shall provide. Thank you.
