Title:
  Hardy: FN-up/down keys change brightness too rapidly on DELL XPS m1330

Status in The Linux Kernel:
  Fix Released
Status in The Somerville Project:
  Confirmed
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  System: Kubuntu Hardy with latest updates. Dell XPS m1330 nVidia 8400M GS.
  Problem: Adjusting brightness using Power Manager tray applet works fine. But when doing the same using FN-up/down keys, each key press adjusts brightness by about 50%. So, using the keys I have only three (instead of 8) brightness levels: 100%->47%->0% and back up: 0%->52%->100%. 

  Does it thinks that key is pressed many times when I press it just
  once?
