You have been subscribed to a public bug: In Ubuntu 13.04, the keyboard backlight does not work in Samsung Series 9 NP900X4C.
Adding the FN key mappings as described in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SamsungSeries9 does show information in the notification area when pressing the keyboard backlight's + and - buttons, but: 1) The notification always identifies the backlight as "full max" 2) It has no effect on the backlight - it's always off When I first installed Ubuntu on this machine (12.10), even though the fn keys never worked I did have intermitent backlight functionality - the light sensor would sometimes work and I'd see light in the keyboard. I dual boot in Windows 8 and backlighting works there, so this is not a hardware issue. ** Affects: gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: samsung udev -- Keyboard backlight does not work in Samsung Series 9 NP900X4C https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1203592 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
