Hello

I'm using dell vostro 1310 laptop with intel gma x3100 video card. This laptop has several multimedia keys. If I don't play any games everything is just fine. However, if do play games strange issue appeared: keys become "locked up" and stop functioning. Each multimedia key is a touch button with a backlight, which lights up while pressing this button. In "locked up" state this backlight is turned on permanently and button stop provides any keyboard events.

Right now I don't even know whom to blame. Any ideas how to track this thing down?

Thanks
