On my new notebook (ASUS N56VM) the backlights did not work by default
so i googled and found the following:
---
or N56V and N76V, you need :
a 3.5 kernel (from quantal)
to get the subwoofer
I add on /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf this line: options
snd-hda-intel model=asus-mode4
reboot and select 2.1 output in audio pref
to get the fn keys + keyboard backlight
install asus-wmi-dkms_0.2_all.deb.gz package (from
http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=12057336&postcount=49)
reboot
to get the GeForce (when you want)
install bumblebee and driver from x-swat repository
to get the Ethernet
build/install alx module

on the URL:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/166261/keyboard-backlight-not-working-on-an-asus-n56v
It would be nice if the packageasus-wmi-dkms_0.2_all.deb.gz would be
installed by default for the N56V and N76V series. Don't know how to
report this, that's why i comment here in this thread instead of making
a new bug.
