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 Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-updates in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1046088 Title: No Brightness Control on ASUS G75VW Notbook (304.43) Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers-updates” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: I've got no brightness control via Fn+F5 and Fn+F6 keys on my 17" ASUS G75VW notbeook with NVIDIA GeForce 660M GTX.
