Forgot to mention that pretty much everything Fn key related worked back
in 12.10, with the exception of the screen brightness, which -- oddly
enough -- required going into suspend, and coming out of suspend, before
the screen brightness would work.

Starting with 13.04 and now 13.10, I pretty much lost all the other Fn
functions as listed in my initial post, as well as the functionality of
the power button triggering a shutdown dialog.

Title:
  Regression - Several ACPI calls no longer work on ASUS G75VW

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Folks,

  I am currently on kernel version 3.11.0-2-generic, and the following
  (what I assume are) ACPI calls no longer work via Fn keys:

  Fn+F2 = Toggle wifi on/off (works manually from the Network Indicator)
  Fn+F5/F6 = Adjust screen brightness (doesn't work at all, not even from the System Settings)
  Fn+F9 = Toggle mousepad on/off (works manually from the System Settings)

  Up until  3.11.0-1-generic, my Fn+F3/F4 = Adjust keyboard backlight
  didn't work, either. This might be fixed in  3.11.0-2-generic, but I
  need to verify this.

  My /etc/default/grub entry for "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT reads
  "quiet splash acpi_osi=Linux acpi_backlight=vendor
  resume=/swapfile.swap" -- not sure if that makes a difference towards
  the ACPI calls...
