Great news for at least Asus UX305FA users and a lot more! It turns out that a lot of issues are fixed in the drm-intel-next branch of the kernel (I was tipped off by Hans de Goede, thank you Hans).
I tried todays build that can be found here: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/drm-intel-next/ Install the debs as usual (dkpg -i), reboot. For me the brightness buttons just work and send an event properly now, I also get the indicator. I hope this works for more people, it will be a matter of time before it's in the main line I guess. cheers -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1348890 Title: Asus UX32LN: Brightness keys Fn+F5 and Fn+F6 don't generate evdev event Status in Linux: Confirmed Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Hello Community, It seems brightness keys don't work with latest Ubuntu 14.04 LTS for laptop Asus Zenbook UX32LN. sudo dmidecode -s bios-version UX32LN.203 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/1348890/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
