I have a Asus G75VW and I've tried 12.04 13.10 and the F5 F6 for screen brightness doesn't work. So Ubuntu can't fix this for us, we have to chase this after Upstream? Personally I thought a big point to Ubuntu was to make for easier end- user usage and support, so I don't think the end-user should have to chase the Upstream for fixes, Ubuntu should be helping here to do this. I would greatly appreciate it if Canonical could get this fixed. - Also my F2 key for the Wifi doesn't work.

[Bug 1046088] Re: No Brightness Control on ASUS G75VW Notbook (304.43)
Got it almost working on elementary OS Lune (based on Precise). Used to modify /etc/default/grub and xorg.conf on my previous installs, but brightness controls would only work after resuming from suspend. I did a new install, and simply installed the latest Nvidia driver in the repos (319), as well as xbacklight. That did the trick. I can now modify the brightness with the xbacklight command without doing any modification to grub or Xorg config, and without having to resume from suspend. The brightness keys and the brightness slider in Settings still don't work though, but I assigned keyboard shortcuts to xbacklight -inc 10 and xbacklight -dec 10 and it works ok. I doesn't really fix the bug, but is much more convenient and simple that tinkering with various config files. I haven't tested it on pure Ubuntu though, but I guess it should also work. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1046088 Title: No Brightness Control on ASUS G75VW Notbook (304.43) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1046088/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1046088] Re: No Brightness Control on ASUS G75VW Notbook (304.43)
Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v3.6 kernel[0] (Not a kernel in the daily directory) and install both the linux-image and linux-image-extra .deb packages. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs- upstream-testing' tag. Please only remove that one tag and leave the other tags. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'. If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'. If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'. Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as Confirmed. Thanks in advance.

[Bug 1046088] Re: No Brightness Control on ASUS G75VW Notbook (304.43)
@Joseph: In the context of bug #1055475 I tested the 3.6 rc7 mainline kernel with nvidia-current and the nvidia-experimental (304.48) drivers on Quantal, and the backlight adjustment did not work. This is on a MacBook Pro 5,4, and not the Asus this bug report is about, but I figure it might well be the same problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1046088 Title: No Brightness Control on ASUS G75VW Notbook (304.43) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1046088/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I tried this on the 3.6 kernel as well, and the bug still persists on my Asus G75.

@Rainer in comment #21: Did you test this with the final 3.6 mainline kernel on the Asus hardware this bug is about? If so, could you change the tags as requested by Joseph in comment #19?
