[Bug 145337] Re: Brightness key stopped working after update [Gutsy]

[Francisco Borges]

This is weird.

(Running Dell Inspiron 6400 with Intel 945GM graphics card)

When logging in with KDE (this is important) If I listen to
"acpi_listen" or "lshal -m" everything seems to be working... except for
the actual brightness  which does NOT change. I have these processes
running:

 ~ % ps axf | grep hal
 5043 ?        Ss     0:00 /usr/sbin/hald
 5044 ?        S      0:00  \_ hald-runner
 5114 ?        S      0:00      \_ hald-addon-keyboard: listening on /dev/input/event1
 5117 ?        S      0:00      \_ /usr/lib/hal/hald-addon-cpufreq
 5118 ?        S      0:00      \_ hald-addon-acpi: listening on acpid socket /var/run/acpid.socket
 5119 ?        S      0:00      \_ hald-addon-keyboard: listening on /dev/input/event4
 5120 ?        S      0:00      \_ hald-addon-keyboard: listening on /dev/input/event5
 5121 ?        S      0:00      \_ hald-addon-keyboard: listening on /dev/input/event6
 5187 ?        S      0:00      \_ hald-addon-storage: polling /dev/scd0 (every 2 sec)
 7630 pts/2    S+     0:00      |   \_ grep --ignore-case --color=auto --extended-regexp hal
 6361 pts/4    S+     0:00          \_ lshal -m

If I start a new session with GNOME. The very same acpi/HAL events are
generated, and now they do work; and what is worse, if I return to my
(still open) KDE session, now the brightness keys also DO work. However
I don't have any difference in the ACPI/HAL logs nor in the HAL
processes running.

Can anybody how can I track this further?

Kind regards
