[Bug 698873] [NEW] Screen Brightness not working in Sony Vaio

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

I thought I already submitted this bug, but I can't find it  anywhere on
my profile.

The screen brightness buttons don't work in ubuntu 10.10.  I'm not sure
what package this is in, but I would imagine it's in xorg.  Note though
that when I unplug the machine, the screen brightness dims (unless I
uncheck it in the power manager), and when I turn up and down the
brightness nob in the power manager, it does go up and down, but the
screen will not become brighter/dimmer when pressing the command keys to
do so.  (So maybe it's just an issue with the key bindings?).

I am running ubuntu 10.10, and it previously worked fine in ubuntu 10.04
