Comment 16 for bug 360247

ok...
got it running here too...

just stopped the whining and compiled/installed the kernel my custom kernel according to the ubuntu kernel/compile howto. That fixed up the repeating keys.

For the backlight problem i wrote a little dbus listener in perl that listens to /org/freedesktop/PowerManagement/Backlight events and sets the brightness appropriately using smartdimmer.

It is probably best, if I attach the files I modified.
