ishbalai, just to clarify, my meaning is using open source drivers only (i.e. no proprietary nvidia drivers installed).
>"So it may be another bug..." It is considered another bug when one uses the nvidia proprietary driver, and is not the scope of this report. You are welcome to file a new report on that via a terminal: ubuntu-bug xorg Please feel free to subscribe me to it. Regarding only using the default open source drivers, the issue you are reporting is an upstream one. Could you please report this problem to the appropriate mailing list (linux-input) by following the instructions verbatim at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/kernel ? Please provide a direct URL to your e-mail to the mailing list once you have made it so that it may be tracked via http://vger.kernel.org/vger- lists.html . It can take a day for the new e-mail to show up in the respective archive. Thank you for your understanding. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Triaged ** Description changed: - Hello! + When using the default open source drivers, backlight control does not + work via keyboard hotkeys on Asus Zenbook Pro UX501JW. - Backlight control does not work on Asus Zenbook Pro UX501JW / Nvidia - Geforce GTX 960M. + WORKAROUND: The backlight can be manually set while running on the + integrated intel graphics (not with hotkeys). - What I mean by this is that the hotkeys for the backlight does not do - anything.
