i did some further testings... this is so strange.. last week i followed the guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AsusZenbookPrime#Ubuntu_13.04 #after the above post i removed this Windows!2012 thing in my grub config to: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="splash quiet acpi_osi="
i then did a reboot to 3.9.0 rc9 and ...tada... the following worked: 1) Keyboard and Monitor backlight worked even with OSD. Wireless toggle (fn-f1) worked, but no OSD toggle touchpad (fnf9) didn't work. Then reboot to 3.8.0.19 -> OSD was gone, no Keyboard backlight, Brightness Backlight worked reboot to 3.9.0 rc9 -> no OSD, Brightness worked bur very laggish. some other reboots to 3.9.0 rc9 -> no OSD, Brightness worked bur very laggish. another reboot 3.9.0 rc9 ->everything worked again like in 1) here i saved the dmesg : asus_wmi: ASUS WMI generic driver loaded asus_wmi: Initialization: 0x1asus_wmi: BIOS WMI version: 7.9 asus_wmi: SFUN value: 0x6a0877<6>[ 3.053346] input: Asus WMI hotkeys as /devices/platform/asus-nb-wmi/input/input5 asus_wmi: Backlight controlled by ACPI video driver after reboot -> only brightness, no OSD dmesg output: asus_wmi: ASUS WMI generic driver loaded asus_wmi: Initialization: 0x1asus_wmi: BIOS WMI version: 7.9 asus_wmi: SFUN value: 0x6a0877<6>[ 2.975072] microcode: CPU1 sig=0x306a9, pf=0x10, revision=0x12 input: Asus WMI hotkeys as /devices/platform/asus-nb-wmi/input/input5 asus-nb-wmi: probe of asus-nb-wmi failed with error -5 i don't know whats the difference between asus_wmi and asus-nb-wmi... nevertheless now it gets strange: i reinstalled the asus_wmi 0.2 manually (sudo dpkg -i asus-wmi- dkms_0.2_all.deb) which hadn't any effects except that dkms status showed, that asus_wmi is installed in 3.9.0 (see above post only states built) then i removed asus_wmi manually! my dkms status output now shows: bbswitch, 0.6, 3.8.0-19-generic, x86_64: installed bbswitch, 0.6, 3.9.0-030900rc8-generic, x86_64: built nvidia-304-updates, 304.88, 3.8.0-19-generic, x86_64: installed nvidia-304-updates, 304.88, 3.9.0-030900rc8-generic, x86_64: installed vboxhost, 4.2.12, 3.8.0-19-generic, x86_64: installed vboxhost, 4.2.12, 3.9.0-030900rc8-generic, x86_64: installed vhba, 20130121, 3.8.0-19-generic, x86_64: installed vhba, 20130121, 3.9.0-030900rc8-generic, x86_64: installed (dmesg still shows, that asus_wmi drivers are loaded) AND FINALLY: On kernel 3.8.0.19 (not on 3.9 rc9) everything works like a charm (except fn-f2 Wireless toggle) --> Keyboard Backlight with OSD --> Brighness Control with OSD --> Touchpad toggle with OSD (!) (fn-f9) --> Loudness Control with OSD (fn-10 to 12) hope this helps someone. oh, and sorry for my english :-) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1173107 Title: Asus N56VZ fn Keys.
