On my new notebook (ASUS N56VM) the backlights did not work by default
so i googled and found the following:
---
or N56V and N76V, you need :
a 3.5 kernel (from quantal)
to get the subwoofer
I add on /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf this line: options
snd-hda-intel model=asus-mode4
reboot and select 2.1 output in audio pref
to get the fn keys + keyboard backlight
install asus-wmi-dkms_0.2_all.deb.gz package (from
http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=12057336&postcount=49)
reboot
to get the GeForce (when you want)
install bumblebee and driver from x-swat repository
to get the Ethernet
build/install alx module

http://askubuntu.com/questions/166261/keyboard-backlight-not-working-on-an-asus-n56v
It would be nice if the packageasus-wmi-dkms_0.2_all.deb.gz would be
installed by default for the N56V and N76V series. Don't know how to
report this, that's why i comment here in this thread instead of making
a new bug.

Title:
Keyboard backlight does not function under Ubuntu - workaround needed
Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
There are quite a few models of keyboards that come equipped with a
keyboard backlight. Sadly, most of these do not have drivers for
Linux.
Below is some code that allows control of the backlight on all
keyboards I've tested (mainly XtremeIT series, but it does also work
on a few other models)
#!/bin/bash
if [ -f /tmp/keyboard_light ]; then
xset -led 3 && rm /tmp/keyboard_light
else
xset led 3 && touch /tmp/keyboard_light
fi
I would ask this is put into Ubuntu, if only to provide a cleaner
experience.
