Icelake, need help with keyboard backlight and fn keys #85

Open Paolo7297 opened 4 years ago

Paolo7297 commented 4 years ago

Hello, I have Ice Lake and i don't know how to enable the keyboard backlight. I also have different fn keys: f1: Mute f2: vol - f3: vol + f4: screen backlight - f5: screen backlight + f6: disable touchpad f7: cycle backight (4 level, after the highest -> off, then again) f8: switch monitor f9: ins f10: fine f11: pag up f12: pag down

I also have a sort of "lock" using fn+esc (it enables a led on fn key), but it would be enough to have a swap between fn keys and f1-12 (to have the default behaviour of fn keys and with fn pressed of f1-12) if possible. Thanks a lot!

Same keyboard layout here. Applying BrightnessKeys from Acidanthera too but can't modify kbd's brightness.

About FN->Fx, it's on SysPref > Keyboard. I think if the first thing is solved the second one will be too.

btw what Zenbook do you have?

Using the patches from this repo i managed to make them working, plus i used the fn+f6 to lower the keyboard brightness and fn+f7 to increase the keyboard brightness. I tried to modify the code to get the four step backlight, but it didn't worked as i wanted, so i rolled back.

to enable the lock, I don't know where to start...

EDIT: I have VivoBook S512JP
