Tested on UX303LN / keyboard backlight #1

Hi,

This is great! It is working on my laptop running Fedora 25/KDE.

There are two thing I would like to comment:

  1. It is not clear to me how to change the number of steps. I would like something smoother.
  2. Is it possible to control the keyboard backlight as well?

Thanks! Felipe

Hi, thanks for response.

  1. If your are talking about smooth update brightness, it's not implemented. Now it changed to required value immediately.

  2. Unfortunately my laptop doesn't have keyboard backlight. If you are ready to describe how to control it, how it should work and test it, I can try to support it.

I can confirm it works on my UX310UF, after enabling it via acpi-call (echo \\_SB.PCI0.LPCB.EC0.ALSC 0x1 > /proc/acpi/call if you want to update README). For the keyboard backlight, it works the same as the screen backlight, path is /sys/devices/platform/asus-nb-wmi/leds/asus::kbd_backlight/brightness and max_brightness (int my case max is 3), but I don't know if the path changes depending on the laptop/hardware config, maybe someone else can confirm, or if there is a way to get the path from the system
