It's X server issue (driver or whatever else).

I have the same bug, and I installed the latest available BIOS from MSI two days ago.
1. it's not a BIOS problem in any way as i worked with Jaunty and it works with Leopard and Windows.
2. it's not a gnome/kde problem as you get the same problem if you issue the command:
echo XX > /proc/acpi/video/IGD/LCD/brightness (where XX= 100 or 80 ... 60)
3. if you run the echo command above from a tty (instead of X server), of if you use FN keys from tty, it works perfectly.

It happens only from a X session..... and thereby it's issue with X server.

The workaround is to type Ctrl+F1 and then Ctrl+F7
