You have been subscribed to a public bug:

The brightness keys don't work on my msi X340 on Maverick Meerkat after
a clean install, although the multimedia keys (volume, etc ...) work
well.

In order to solve this problem, I modified /etc/rc.local this way:

#########/etc/rc.local#########
#! /bin/bash 
setkeycodes e077 130 & 
setkeycodes e078 131 & 

exit 0
#########/etc/rc.local#########

Then, I created ~/.xmodmap.conf :

##########~/.xmodmap.conf########
keycode 138 = XF86MonBrightnessDown NoSymbol XF86MonBrightnessDown
keycode 139 = XF86MonBrightnessUp NoSymbol XF86MonBrightnessUp
##########~/.xmodmap.conf########

At the next startup, gnome asked me if I wanted to use .xmodmap.conf. I
answered "Yes". But, ­gnome-power-manager still didn't take into acount
the brightness keys.

­Eventually, I wrote the following script and added it to gnome-session-
properties after deactivating the original line concerning gnome-power-
manager.

#########~/.sleep-gnome-power-manager.sh#########
#! /bin/bash 
sleep 3 
gnome-power-manager &
#########~/.sleep-gnome-power-manager.sh#########

And this solved my problem.

As I don't know whick specific package is concerned by this bug, i filed
it as a gnome-session bug.

Thanks for reading this ! :)
