I updated my netbook to 11.10 last night. This morning I find my screen will not stop cycling through the brightness setting. Fn key doesn't respond and it's actually using up all of my system resources, so I'm typing this from my phone! Any ideas?

I was having a similar problem with my Samsung N150 Plus on 11.04. The solution for me was to install the Linux On My Samsung PPA provided by Voria and install the samsung-backlight and samsung-tools packages.
- ppa:voria/ppa
(Here are instructions on using PPAs. And here's information on PPA safety.) - Here's a guide to the packages in this PPA.
Although the site shows 9.10 and 10.04 I wouldn't worry since I installed it on 11.04 with no issues. If you're uncertain or are having problems I'd recommend asking on their forums.
