brightness recently (more) broken on Dell XPS M1330

There's a workaround by dell's support in this webpage http://blog.higherthings.org/borghardt/article/3633.html
You should blacklist the video module. It worked for me.

I tried blacklisting the video 'module'. This did fix the problem of
controlling the brightness, but broke the brightness control in a
different way. Without the 'video' module, if I change the brightness
(using keyboard hotkeys) then the brightness-level-indicator window
lingers on the screen and focus is never released (I can no longer use
the keyboard for anything except controlling the brightness.)

That's odd and (fortunately) it didn't happened to me. BTW i still
have hardy on my xps.

Thanks for the report Jason Kraftcheck , It has been a long time without any comment or a duplicate in this bug report and It is possible that the bug has been fixed. May you please try to reproduce it with the latest Stable Release of Ubuntu the Natty Narwhal and add the respective comments to the report? You can learn how to get that release at http://www.ubuntu.com/download . Thanks again and we appreciate your help.

The problem seems to be resolved in 11.04.

thanks,
