Comment 12 for bug 313231

I have the same problem on ThinkPad R61i. As of version 2.6.27-12 this hasn't been fixed. I propose the priority of this bug should be raised - as far as I am concerned it makes my laptop near unusable. Therefore I still boot to 2.6.27-10 and I don't intend to boot to any newer revision which doesn't let me control screen brightness.

On a side note, 2.6.27-11 has also introduced another annoyance for me which was deactivation of th WLAN adapter when controlling it and BT with Fn-F5 keys. Fortunately it has been fixed in -12. I wonder what they did to the kernel in -11?

If a log would help, please ask and I'll send...
