This sounds like a kernel (ACPI?) issue to me. I suggest to downgrade to GM kernel (on DVD) to verify this. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Best you use: rpm -ivh --force kernel-xy.rpm (possibly --nodeps is also needed). Like that your old kernel should still be available. Then try: no_boot_ec_lookup boot parameter.

Not sure this is really worth. Several (HP, Dell) Laptop's brightness keys do not work anymore, while they did in 10.3 GM. Only HW I could imagine is responsible for that is EC. Maybe Alexey can remember of an EC fix for 10.3 which could broke this. Hmm, ThinkPad brightness keys are also messed up (because of something else...)... Alvaro, I tend to close this one, it's not critical. Maybe you can try one of the next 11.0 Betas. If the problem persists there, it definetely has higher priority and we could backport the patch if it's also a mainline problem. I close the bug for now. Please reopen if you still see the bug in 11.0. Further comments and suggestions are of course appreciated. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
