            Bug ID: 67681
           Summary: Asus G75VW - Fn Keys Not Working Lack of Kernel ACPI?
           Product: ACPI
           Version: 2.5
    Kernel Version: Any 3x
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: high
          Priority: P1
         Component: Other
          Assignee: acpi_ot...@kernel-bugs.osdl.org
          Reporter: 3fdd1...@opayq.com
        Regression: No

I have an Asus G75VW and I've noticed on several distros I've tested out that
the F2 for Wifi and the F5 & F6 for the screen brightness do not work.

It's my understanding a driver is being used for the F5 & F6 keys in Windows to
control the screen brightness which might be possible to be controlled by the
kernel at the ACPI level.

Besides trying differnet distros I've tried several kernel versions and I've
also tried every solution possible to make this work, and came up empty.

Since this does not work on any distro or by any methods manually, I'm not sure
how to report with what information you might need.

The last two distros I've tried are Ubuntu 12.04 x64 and my regular distro I
run is Slackware 14.0 x64 with kernel 3.12.6

I hope that it's possible to get the F2, F5, & F6 keys working in the kernel?

Please let me know what files, logs, etc., you might need for me to submit?

Thank you all very much for your time and help in this matter, it's greatly
appreciated.

Happy Holidays to all!
