[Bug 1229591] [NEW] [keymap] display brightness keys stop working after saucy upgrade

 

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

On raring (and precise) the display brightness keys (fn+f4 and fn+f5) on
my Dell Inspiron 14z turned the brightness up and down.  After a saucy
upgrade this no longer happens (I don't see the popup brightness bubble
either).  The other, similar keys (volume adjustment, etc) still work
fine.

Changing the values in /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness
works (temporarily - it gets reset after the screen lock kicks in)

I tried following the instructions in
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hotkeys/Troubleshooting but this appears to be
out of date (it references /usr/share/doc/udev/README.keymap.txt which
does not exist)
