Khaos, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. As per http://usa.asus.com/Notebooks/Versatile_Performance/K55VD/#download an update is available for your BIOS (406). If you update to this, does it change anything?
** Description changed: The brightness hotkeys FN F5, F6 are not working in ASUS K55VD (A55VD- SX406H) (I7-3630M, RAM 8GB, nvidia GEFORCE 610M 2GB). Tried with default drivers in Ubuntu 12.10 64bit both in Live CD/USB and clear install. Also tried Bumblebee nvidia drivers and the keys are not working too. The other FN keys are working ok. The grub acpi modes fixes are not working in this case. Maybe it's a kernel problem (acpi). - --- + --- ApportVersion: 2.6.1-0ubuntu9 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: - USER PID ACCESS COMMAND - /dev/snd/controlC0: khaos 2104 F.... pulseaudio + USER PID ACCESS COMMAND + /dev/snd/controlC0: khaos 2104 F.... pulseaudio DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.10 HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=5c802c87-3749-4964-aed0-17d1a3a59426 InstallationDate: Installed on 2013-01-16 (4 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.10 "Quantal Quetzal" - Release amd64 (20121017.5) MachineType: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC.
