Hi,
I'm experiencing almost all the above bugs by trying to install Linux on an
Asus ROG GL552VW.
I tested Ubuntu 16.04, Debian 8 and Mint 17.3.
The main issues are:
- Ubuntu 16.04: no backlight keys, cpu fan always at maximum speed
- Debian 8: no special keys at all, cpu fan always at maximum speed, touchpad
not detected
- Mint 17.3: no backlight keys, cpu fan always at maximum speed, touchpad not
detected
By searching around for a few days I found out that the best
configuration, at least for my laptop, is the following:
- Linux Mint 17.3
- grub optins: acpi_osi=! acpi_backlight=native
- create a file /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/80-backlight.conf
and copy the following code inside:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel Graphics"
Driver "intel"
Option "AccelMethod" "sna"
Option "Backlight" "intel_backlight" # use your backlight that
works here
BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
EndSection
in this way the backlight keys and cpu fan work but I still have no
touchpad.
I tried several kernels, starting from version 4.3 trackpad works but I
get video artifacts with both the open source and the proprietary nvidia
driver.
I can provide further details and logs if needed, just tell me which
ones you need.
Maurizio
