Hi, I've tested the new 3.18 kernel ($ uname -a Linux lina-UL30VT 3.18.0-031800rc4-generic #201411091835 SMP Sun Nov 9 23:36:36 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux)
However, the bug persists. Backlight control does not work. Furthermore, the touchpad control cannot be turned off with the hotkey, nor does the indicator bubble pop up (I understand that this perhaps should be reported as a separate bug) Still, the indicator bubble for backlight control does pop up, but has no effect on actual backlight. ** Tags added: kernel-bug-exists-upstream -- 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/1392016 Title: [Asus UL30VT] Backlight control does not work Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: The backlight control on my Asus UL30VT has not worked for quite a while.
