Subject: platform/x86: asus-wmi: Keyboard backlight brightness does not work correctly on Asus ROG Zephyrus G15
Date: Sun, 17 Nov 2024 10:11:52 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1933b52f4cc.d2378f8b154603.5100196514130862791@mitchellaugustin.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To:
Hello,
On my Zephyrus G15 (GA503RM-G15.R93060),
my keyboard brightness controls do not work. I believe I have traced
this down to being a kernel issue, based on the fact that my Gnome
control center slider and `asusctl -k` do result in
`/sys/class/leds/asus::kbd_backlight/brightness` being updated, but the
changed value of `/sys/class/leds/asus::kbd_backlight/brightness` is not
reflective of the actual brightness of my keyboard, which always
remains unchanged. (I can also confirm that other keyboard/fan control
features do work, such as the keyboard profile switcher, custom fan
curves, etc. - so it just seems to be the brightness that is broken.)
If this is likely just a case where I would need to poke around my hardware to
find the correct values to write for brightness control to work on my
specific SKU, I would be happy to do that and contribute it back here, but I
will need some guidance on where to look for that info.
Let me know if that would be helpful, or if there's any other info I can provide to help fix this bug.
Thanks,
Mitchell Augustin
