Description
On my Inspiron 1520 laptop, when the Ubuntu splash screen is present and the OS is loading, I can use the fn-keys to adjust the screen's brightness. However once the login window appears, these keys no longer control brightness until I'm fully logged in to my system. Similarly, I can't adjust the system volume until I've logged in, which can be disruptive if I am in a library and need to log in, and I don't have any way of muting the volume short of logging into a failsafe (silent) terminal session to mute from command line.
I would love it if you could just use your laptop's fn keys to adjust brightness and volume from the login window.

What is it you guys are doing with the notebook in class. In uni I had barely time to write stuff down (on paper) sometimes. There was def. no time to type stuff up, a lot of math formulas, sketches etc. pen an paper ruled.
So please tell me, I am curious??

Yea this is a great idea, I hate turning on my computer in the library and everyone in the whole place can hear your startup sound!

what are you guys showing up to uni for? I was almost the only one showing up to a lot of lecturers, and yet, people seemed to get better marks when they didn't go.
I do agree with this idea. Maybe post also it on Dell Ideastorm. We need the hardware supported to work completely, instead of our current situation, where a lot of hardware only partially works.
