Package: gnome-power-manager Version: 2.24.4-2 Severity: important Dear all, (going to Debian BTS and acpi mailing list) I am having the following strange phenomenon: When I log into the gnome session the AltGr key is working, thus on my German kbd I get AltGr-q -> AT sign AltGr-8 -> open square bracket ... As soon as I adjust the brightness with Fn-F5 or Fn-F6 the OSD with the brightness level appears, the brightness is adjusted, but at the same time the functionality of the AltGr key is lost. Pressing AltGr-q I get a q instead of the AT sign. This is 100% repeatable, and happens only in Gnome. I tried the failsafe terminal session and pressing the keys did not change anything, nor the brightness, nor the AltGr behaviour. So I guess that the culprit is one of those adjusting the brightness, and not the hardware support for sending the kbd events. Since a missing AltGr on a German kbd means there is no AT, no curly nor square brackets, etc, that is very disturbing, and I need to restart X to get normal behaviour back.
