[Bug 1383690] Re: Brightness and lock [fn] hotkeys don't work until first suspend

 

Thank you for your answer!
However, I must say I don't feel comfortable with flashing BIOS right now, because I don't really know how to do it, and I am in a mission critical situation ATM, so I would rather not risk ending up with an unbootable laptop. I do understand, after your response, that a BIOS upgrade could fix this, but I would rather postpone it for after I am done with my critical tasks at hand.

Title:
  Brightness and lock [fn] hotkeys don't work until first suspend

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  On Utopic, after I start my laptop, the [fn] hotkeys for brightess
  control and locking the screen don't work, but after I resume the
  session from suspend, they finally work as expected.

  I am really not sure which package is this bug related to, sorry for
  that.

  It is Ubuntu 14.10 Utopic Unicorn (fresh-installed from a beta image).
  Graphics: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] RV516/M62-S [Mobility Radeon X1350] with the radeon driver.
  DE: standard Unity

  I also don't see the plymouth splash screen while starting up, but yes
  on shutting down, if this could be related.

  I will be glad to provide other info if needed.

  Thank you!
