Not automatically as it is in the process at a time when it not gets into
2.6.31 final but rather 2.6.32. But I currently try to get it pro-actively into
Karmic as well.
The function keys might probably work. I did see that your BIOS definitions
have another bug with the brightness levels, which I believe is handled in
Karmic (normally the first two values are supposed to be the levels for on-ac
and on-battery and are handled differently, but your bios just has real levels
in it). So I would suggest to try out karmic (not yet but next alpha or beta).
If it has brightness control but still the FN-key problem, it would be good to
open a new bug for that. The problem is different and the more specific we are
in a bug, the better to handle it.
