[Bug 585946] [NEW] Samsung R525 brightness keys do not work

[Stephan Diestelhorst]

Public bug reported:

This is likely similar to Bug #295251, but seeing that that one is supposedly fixed, I'll open a new bug report.
The brightness control on this laptop does not work (Fn+Up / Down) and produces e008 / e009 scancodes.
Manually adding those through 

sudo setkeycodes e008 225
sudo setkeycodes e009 224

triggers the appropriate action, but the release code is not generated. I thought this was fixed with an older
kernel release, at least according to bug #295251 ...

I am on Lucid, kernel 2.6.32-21-generic. Hardware is Samsung R525-EIkee.

uname -a
Linux hadburg 2.6.32-21-generic #32-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 16 08:09:38 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Will attach further logs later.
