Not working on GL553VD-DS71

[physicien]

I just tried to install it, and the driver does not seem to work on my ASUS GL553VD. The distro is Kali Linux 2017.1. These two files are missing:

MAX_BRIGHTNESS_FILE = "/sys/devices/platform/asus_laptop/leds/asus::kbd_backlight/max_brightness"
BRIGHTNESS_FILE = "/sys/devices/platform/asus_laptop/leds/asus::kbd_backlight/brightness"

Hello,

• Does the /sys/devices/platform/asus_laptop/ folder exists?
• If not, is there an asus-wmi (or a one with a similar name) in /sys/devices/platform/?

[physicien]

Hi, the exact past is /sys/devices/platform/asus-nb-wmi/ for my configuration, so the second choice.

Ok, so what is the result of the following commands?

find /sys/devices/platform/asus-nb-wmi/ -iname "*brightness*"
find /sys/devices/platform/asus-nb-wmi/ -iname "*led*"

[physicien]

The first return nothing, but the second return /sys/devices/platform/asus-nb-wmi/input/input10/capabilities/led

Ok, so it seems your laptop is not supported by asus-nb-wmi module... I cannot do anything here (this project is just a glue between acpi hotkeys and the asus_laptop / asus-nb_wmi modules).

You may want to report your issue upstream → https://bugzilla.kernel.org

Best regards

Thanks for your help, I think the solution is to patch the kernel (if anyone else have the same problem).

thank you for the information, I close this issue as it is not solvable in this repo :)
