I'm using Linux Mint 15, which is based on ubuntu raring so it may work for you too. My brightness keys are working, but I had to update my BIOS to latest ver. 214. I was using ver. 206 before with no luck.
I also had to change /etc/acpi/events/asus-keyboard-backlight-up and /etc/acpi/events/asus-keyboard-backlight-down to listen to the correct event on keypress, acording to acpi_listen. Let me know if you need more info. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1178796 Title: On Asus laptop UL80VT, backlight control does not work, but there are entries in /sys/class/backlight To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1178796/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
