I've read several times on mailing lists about this issue, but I didn't
follow the discussions. FWIW for my tower PC's monitor the buttons don't
work, when using the proprietary NVIDIA driver versions for some time
past. If I turn the monitor off and on again, the buttons work. Not a
solution for a laptop.
Did you test all available drivers?
nv (perhaps not available for stable), nouveau, nvidia (the
proprietary), vesa? Just to ensure that it's not caused by the driver.
What driver do you use?
