I believe this is a udev bug. The keymap does not include the brightness up/down keys... That's what I thought at first, but even alternative brightness controls don't have any affect. Such as the screenbrightness applet or screenlet. Even the brightness control in the power options is unusable. So, udev might be part of the problem but it's not the source. I can confirm the bug on Fedora 14 Actually, the problem has gotten worse since Fedora 14. Now, not only do the brightness controls not work, but Fedora actually locks up. Making it so that the brightness icon keeps flashing on the screen and the keyboard stops working. At this point I can no longer use the taskbar either... I'm starting to think this is also a bug in the udev's loop. This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 13. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '13'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 13's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 13 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 13 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2011-06-25. Fedora 13 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. Is this bug still on Fedora 15? |
