It has an AMD64 CPU (running a 32-bit Debian), ATI chipset and ATI Radeon XPRESS 200M 5955 graphic card. I'm running an untainted Linux 2.6.19-ck2. X.org is using the open-source ATI driver. I upgraded the laptop's BIOS to version F.52 earlier today. Since then X.org started shutting down every time upon pressing the bright-up key. Also, the kernel started printing "video device notify" on bright-down and that same line followed by "set_level status: 0" on bright-up. I adjust the backlight frequently, so I know for a fact that this was working yesterday before the BIOS upgrade.

Please honor the Reply-To header, as I'm not subscribed to this list. PS: I upgraded the BIOS, as the new version is supposed to include some keyboard/mousepad-related fixes for Vista. Since then I haven't experienced any of the Synaptics mousepad hick-ups that had been driving me nuts.
