This is not a duplicate of bug #1012365, since the solution is different (and the other bug is about how the original solution doesn't work for 900X3C). Also, it doesn't seem to work in Ubuntu 13.04. I tried modifying /lib/udev/keymaps/samsung-other and /lib/udev/keymaps/force-release /samsung-other as described in OP and rebooting. When pressing Fn+F7/8 I simply see a keyboard backlight icon pop-up with no "progress" indicator (like there is for the volume) and *the backlight doesn't change* no matter how many times I click. I also tried following the instructions at <http://jablonskis.org/2012 /linux-and-samsung-series-laptop-9-fn-keys/>, with the same result - The keyboard illumination indicator pops up (without showing the current state), and the state doesn't change. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1072371 Title: Add special keys for Samsung Series 9 laptops To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udev/+bug/1072371/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
