Description of problem: In the X environment (in gdm or opened X session) the Fn+BrightUp produces undesired behaviour. Screen is blank after fisrt click and Fn+Brightdown does not help. Pressing any keys and combinations also no help. The some magick with Ctrl+Alt+F1 and Fn+BrightDown keys returns back sometimes. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): FC6 + All current updates P.S. Fn+BrightDown and bright controls in gnome-power-manager work fine.
Thanks for the bug report. We have reviewed the information you have provided above, and there is some additional information we require that will be helpful in our diagnosis of this issue. Please attach your X server config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) and X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.*.log) to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link below. Could you please also try to run without any /etc/X11/xorg.conf whatsoever and let X11 autodetect your display and video card? Attach to this bug /var/log/Xorg.0.log from this attempt as well, please. We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information. Thanks in advance.

All logs before bug is a log after just started gdm (except case when X server doesn't start). All logs after bug the previous case with once click to the Fn+BrightUp keys.
Additional info: After bug is occured and switch to console mode the console fonts is broken (font glyphs not localized and show some abrakadabra). In most case the killall gdm-binary command revert back to normal. Sometimes restart from gdm is passing in unsupported graphics mode. Screen is built by many of strokes not normal symbols (like unequal horizontal frequency on CRT).
I am also having issues on my Thinkpad T60 with the brightness keys. Fedora Core 6, all updates. i386: everything worked fine Then I installed x86_64 instead, and Xorg started crashing. This happens with Xorg driver (Radeon X1300), not with fglrx. I get this in my dmesg: video device notify set_level status: 0 And here is the crash from Xorg.0.log: Backtrace: 0: /usr/bin/Xorg(xf86SigHandler+0x71) [0x496141] 1: /lib64/libc.so.6 [0x3b2b030210] 2: /lib64/libc.so.6 [0x3b2b03450a] 3: /usr/bin/Xorg [0x4732a0] 4: /usr/bin/Xorg(xf86HandlePMEvents+0x38) [0x474828] 5: /usr/bin/Xorg(xf86Wakeup+0x155) [0x497345] 6: /usr/bin/Xorg(WakeupHandler+0x51) [0x44dac1] 7: /usr/bin/Xorg(WaitForSomething+0x1d4) [0x5507f4] 8: /usr/bin/Xorg(Dispatch+0x9a) [0x449b6a] 9: /usr/bin/Xorg(main+0x455) [0x4325d5] 10: /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf4) [0x3b2b01da44] 11: /usr/bin/Xorg(FontFileCompleteXLFD+0x231) [0x4318c9] Fatal server error: Caught signal 11. Server aborting gnome-power-manager works just fine; just using the thinkpad keys. I also have tpb installed if that matters.
Paul, does the crash happen when pressing Fn+BrightUp? Also, please, this is a separate issue, file a new bug for it and attach to that your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log. Thanks a lot.
I'm seeing the exact same dmesg messages and Xorg.0.log crash messages as in comment #11. I'm also using x86_64, but on a compaq presario v5210us, also using the "radeon" driver. In general, acpi works well here, even with suspend/restore, but pressing Fn+BrightUp causes the SEGV. However, I think I've noticed something interesting about the conditions that cause the crash. It seems that pressing the button once is not enough. You have to press the button twice quickly. [I'm removing NEEDINFO since it looks like all the info requesting in comment #1 has been provided.]
After today update the new regression is come. The Fn+BrightDown now also blanking X screen. [andy@localhost ~]$ uname -a Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.20-1.2933.fc6 #1 SMP Mon Mar 19 11:38:26 EDT 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux [andy@localhost ~]$ rpm -q xorg-x11-server-Xorg xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.1.1-47.7.fc6
Am I misreading comment #14? I read it as saying this bug is still present in xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.1.1-47.7.fc6, but Matej just closed this bug as resolved in that exact version. In any case, the crash in comment #11 is definitely still present in xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.1.1-47.7.fc6. If these are really different Fn+BrightUp bugs, should I open another bug, or is this issue already being tracked somewhere?
I was misreading comment 14. Sorry.
Additional info. I make some investigations and fill new bug #235085. I think this bug depends to that.
