Backlight keyboard on asus u47vc

[Guest]

Hi just purchased a brand new Asus u47vc after I run Mint for couple I switch to Kubuntu... much faster...

So I got serval issues. Now I work to make my FN key working for the backlight keyborad and for the screen bright.

With this command the backlight keyborad work perfectly

echo $1 > /sys/class/leds/asus\:\:kbd_backlight/brightness

but the FN+f3/f4 they not working I try couples solutions but notthing work... For now with FN key the volume control, wifi, sleep and screen work perfectly..

Any clue how to make this key combination working?

This model should have an nVidia video card and to get screen brightness working you have to add a line to /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

Option "RegistryDwords" "EnableBrightnessControl=1"

When you have no xorg.conf just make a file with this content:

Section "Device"
    Identifier    "Default Device"
    Option "RegistryDwords" "EnableBrightnessControl=1"
    Option    "NoLogo"    "True"
EndSection

(All done using sudo)
