Oh and the backlight of the keyboard is working now by installing the
mentioned package. :-) As well as the function keys accept for the
screen brightness.

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.
