This bug is reported following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Debugging/Backlight#Debugging_information_to_provide_in_your_bug_report guidelines. WORKAROUND: Backlight can be set with xbacklight after creating /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf : Section "Device" Identifier "card0" Driver "intel" Option "Backlight" "intel_backlight" BusID "PCI:0:2:0" EndSection but special keys are not working, and there are no events in acpi_listen when pressing these keys. Update : To get special keys working (from : http://sajan.io/blog/asus-x200m-perfect-linux-ubuntu-xubunu-utility-laptop) In the file /etc/default/grub, you'll see a line that looks like this: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" All you want to do is add two parameters to that line to make it look like this: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_os_name=Linux acpi_osi=" That's it. Save the file and run sudo update-grub in a terminal. Reboot, and your brightness keys should start working perfectly.
