[Bug 577514] Re: Fn keys brightness controls on laptop not working

[Timmi]

Hi Jeremy,

I've installed the latest Mint9 32bit, and also ordered a new keyboard to be
on the safe side, and brightness is working.

I did comment back requesting that we wait until I get the new keyboard -
don't know if that got lost in the shuffle.

Thanks for your investigation on this.

Best regards,
Timm
