reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the stable
release - Oneiric Ocelot. It would help us greatly if you could test

Title:
  Additional handling is necessary for keyboard backlight on ASUS
  laptops

Status in “gnome-power-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  on suspend, keyboard backlights on ASUS laptops of recent vintage are
  not correctly powered off. They either remain on or flicker during
  suspend. this is apparently due to incomplete ACPI event handling for
  these machines.

  Additionally, the fn-key combinations for controlling the light level
  of this backlight require handlers in order to function.

  
  fixes for both issues can be found in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1546748
