Bug Description
Binary package hint: hal
With a MacBook Pro (Core 2 Duo Penryn), Ubuntu 8.10 (64-bit) and hal 0.5.11-4ubuntu4, the keys F1/F2 (brightness) and F5/F6 (backlight) don't work. Pressing these keys (with or without the fn key) does nothing. The brightness is always at 100% and the backlight doesn't work (no light). I'll attach 3 files:
1. hal.log:
sudo /etc/init.d/hal stop
sudo hald --verbose=yes --daemon=no 2>&1 | tee /tmp/hal.log
2. lshal.txt:
lshal > /tmp/lshal.txt
3. /var/log/kern.log

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. If you could test the current Ubuntu development version, this would help us a lot. If you can test it, and it is still an issue, we would appreciate if you could upload updated logs by running apport-collect <bug #>, and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.
I've confirmed that this is not a problem on a MacBook 1,1 using the kernel Linux Macintel 2.6.31-20-generic
