If I had to guess, I would think it should be the nvidia gpu driver to support
it, that's why I've moved the bug to driver/gpu. Looks like no nvidia gpu
driver developer is looking here, so I would suggest you to ask for help
through mailing list.

Well not according to what I'm reading and understanding here, this is suppose
to be I thought from asus wmi?

CONFIG_ASUS_NB_WMI:

This is a driver for newer Asus notebooks. It adds extra features
like wireless radio and bluetooth control, leds, hotkeys, backlight...

So what is this backlight that is being mentioned with CONFIG_ASUS_NB_WMI?

thanks

I thought I mentioned this before, but Nvidia uses a driver for Windows to
control this, it doesn't come from Nvidia. 

You can actually see that the F keys have an Asus ROG logo themed popup display
instead of the standard windows looking display.

So I REPEAT, this is not controlled by Nvidia... :)

Since this has been handed over to the Drivers, has anyone seen this?

Are the developers certain this is not a kernel related issue, a lack of
support?

I was told that the asus-laptop.ko module should be loaded, but it won't load
on my laptop. When I try to modprobe it, I get;

modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'asus_laptop': No such device

For the kernel bootline I've added, which I've been told should help to load
the module, but it's not;

acpi_backlight=vendor acpi_osi=Linux

--- Comment #31 from KernelBug <3fdd1e5d@opayq.com> ---
I wonder if any of the developers are aware that there is not one distro this
works on? Meaning there isn't the support for it in Linux, which I was hoping
was going to come from the kernel support.

I'm now using 3.16 and this still does not work... :(

>From the command line nothing works, the below command does not work.

echo 10 > /sys/class/backlight/asus-nb-wmi/brightness

Hi,

Has there been any progress on this?

As I mentioned in the past I use xbindkeys in my $HOME a file called,
.xbindkeysrc and these are the command I use below;



##################################
# End of xbindkeys configuration #
##################################

# My keybindings

#decrease brightness
"~/.config/openbox/backlight-dn.sh"
    m:0x0 + c:71
     F5

#increase brightness
"~/.config/openbox/backlight-up.sh"
     m:0x0 + c:72
     F6

Which simply run;

xbacklight -inc 10
xbacklight -dec 10

Seeing that xbacklight works in this situation, does that help shed light on
comiing up with a solution?

thank you...

HELLO,

This was not correct switching this to Video Drivers.

Someone FORGOT to SEE that I was also talking about the F2 key not working as
well for the WiFi...

I've been at this for over a year, can I please get some input on this please?

THANKS

I made the mistake too of getting caught up in just trying to work out
resolving the video instead of also trying to figure out why the F2 doesn't
work to turn the wifi on and off...

I'd really appreciate if someone can PLEASE reply and let me know if there's
anything the Kernel team can do to get some support for this model so these
keys will finally work?

THANK YOU :)

Putting back under Nvidia video.

Please file a separate bug for the Wifi, but mention this one.

That way the wifi authors will see that part of it.

Note that this not "support" or a support forum. Support would be via your
distribution.

Hi Alan,

Ok about going back under Video, in the meantime I did open another report,
pointing to this really;

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=90971

Yes I know this is not a forum for support, I'm a Geek, and I've got my
bandaids on it already making all this work.

The truth is the support isn't in the kernell that is needed, that's all there
seems to be this, so I'm ONLY asking and making posts wondering if we're ever
going to get kernel support for this...

THANKS

--- Comment #40 from KernelBug <3fdd1e5d@opayq.com> ---
I just noticed in the kernel under;

Graphics support > Frame buffer Devices > CONFIG_FB_NVIDIA_BACKLIGHT:

This is the description;

Say Y here if you want to control the backlight of your display.

If this is what I'm looking at and reading, for the backlight of the monitor to
control the brightness, WHY is this under the Frame Buffer section, and not
placed under, 'Backlight & LCD device support'?

I'm really confused by this and just don't understand...

Can someone PLEASE explain this?

Because I have been waiting since Dec. 2013, hoping that the Kernel Dev team
will add in more backlight support, only to find under the Framebuffer, which
trying to make Nvidia Framebuffer work is a pain in the ass...
