Backlight control does not work on Asus Zenbook Pro UX501JW / Nvidia Geforce GTX 960M. What I mean by this is that the hotkeys for the backlight does not do anything. The backlight can be manually set while running on the integrated intel graphics. (Not with hotkeys). The nvidia GPU is not detected until Nvidias official drivers are installed. And after installing that driver (any version) the backlight can not be changed at all. I hope this can be solved!
