Description Christian 2017-06-21 13:53:14 UTC
After having used my laptop (Thinkpad), including toggle external displays and standby/wakeups, for a while the Fn key brightness contr'sol stops working. Brightness can not be controlled and there's no OSD indication either. Other controls like volumre and toggle wifi works. A reboot restores the brightness controls, but only for a while.
