Hello Ian, Ian Coleman [2011-10-17 15:10 +1100]: > I am trying to get the Fn+F7 and Fn+F8 keys working on my Samsung > laptop, model 90X3A.

I can't test these myself as I don't have an illuminated keyboard, but gnome-settings-daemon's "media-keys" plugin has code to react to these: http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-settings-daemon/tree/plugins/media-keys/gsd-media-keys-manager.c#n1549 Can you please ensure that X.org actually knows about these? Please run "killall gnome-settings-daemon", then "xev", move the pointer into the white window and press Fn+F7/F8. Do you see keyboard events for XF86KbdBrightnessUp/XF86KbdBrightnessDown in the terminal?
