Samsung R439 Laptop Keyboard doesnt work after Fn+Cursor operation

Asked by Kuku

I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my Samsung R439 Laptop. The keyboard works fine normally, but once I change the brightness by using the Fn+Cursor key combo, then the keyboard stops working.

If I press Fn+Left or Fn+Right just once, then the brightness keeps increasing or decreasing continuously and then nothing works. I am unable to type anything using the keyboard. Nothing on the panel works and the color changes upon hovering, but click action just doesnt work.

Basically other than moving around the mouse cursor and scrolling up and down the currently open window, nothing else works.

I can provide any logs or any extra details that you might want.

Thanks,
Prashanth
