Bug Description
On Xubuntu, using the default configuration, each time I try to change the contrast using fn + up or down, I am not able to type on my keyboard anymore. But the keys are working because I can kill X using ctrl+alt+backspace. When X restart, the keyboard is working again.
Xfce 4 Desktop Environment
version 4.4.2 (Xfce 4.4)
Dell Inspiron 8600
Xubuntu 8.10 Installed via Wubi.
