I scarcely know how things are going regarding Your question -
including mine systems. So, all I can add to my previous
words/experience w/ the problem is to try w/ the services that are
running on my Inspiron seems regarding the matter (I am not sure what
everything bellow does, but You can investigate farther or play w/ it)
it started w/ for my run level:
acpi-fakekey
fancontrol
acpid
acpi-support
apmd
loadcpufreq
cpufrequtils
I hope it should work for You - if other earlier mentioned modules have
been loaded - as it works for me.
Sthu.
