Rolf Leggewie, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been
any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an
issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development
release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.11

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Title:
  [ASUS 1005p] keys for adjusting display brightness don't work as
  expected

Status in The Linux Kernel:
  Expired
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  While trying out yesterday's lucid UNR live CD, I found out that the
  keys for adjusting display brightness (Fn+F5, Fn+F6) don't work as
  expected on the ASUS 1005p and 1001p pinetrail netbooks.  While
  generally pushing Fn+F6 will increase the screen brightness, it can
  happen that it will go down (!) or even shut off the backlight when
  pushing that key combo.  I always think maximum screen brightness is
  never reached.  I only got this computer a few days ago and cannot
  tell whether this is a regression from karmic or not.
