Brightness keys (Fn + arrow up/down) are still NOT working on my Samsung NC10 despite latest daily updates from Update Manager and using latest Samsung BIOS version 04CA / MICOM version 11CA.

(Brightness keys work while in BIOS (F2 key while power on), but you do not want to reboot the computer to adjust display brightness.)

Using the nomodeset parameter in GRUB forces the brightness keys to work (didn’t work some weeks ago when I tried that for the first time). But I really liked Kernel-based mode setting, so it would be slightly disappointing to use nomodeset to turn it off. Of course, non-functional brightness settings are a bigger hassle than screen flickering, so I am forced to nomodeset.

As others are reporting brightness keys working on NC10: Could the LPIA instead of i386 be the problem for me? (kernel 2.6.31-14-lpia)
