You have been subscribed to a public bug:
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.
