Title:
  Backlight control does not work on Asus Zenbook Pro UX501JW / Nvidia
  Geforce GTX 960M

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hello!

  Backlight control does not work on Asus Zenbook Pro UX501JW / Nvidia
  Geforce GTX 960M.

  What I mean by this is that the hotkeys for the backlight does not do
  anything. The backlight can be manually set while running on the
  integrated intel graphics. (Not with hotkeys).

  The nvidia GPU is not detected until Nvidias official drivers are
  installed. And after installing that driver (any version) the
  backlight can not be changed at all.

  I hope this can be solved!
