I have a Samsung Q45 and I'm an Ubuntu user since Feisty Fawn.
I have read a lot about 'Fn keys' on Samsung laptops in bugzilla and also in bugs.launchpad.net.
This bug has been marked as fixed, but it is still present! (also in Lucid Lynx
with kernel 2.6.32-22)

Anyway yesterday I have tried this solution
http://www.voria.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=296 and it works fine:
package 'samsung-backlight' enables brightness up/down
package 'samsung-tools' enables wireless on/off

It seems to use DKMS (Dynamic Kernel Module Support),
it is possible to include this code directly in linux kernel source tree?
