Vasya Pupkin, as per
http://www.asus.com/Notebooks/ASUS_ZENBOOK_UX301LA/HelpDesk_Download/ an
update to your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (211). If
you update to this following
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it address the issue?

If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful.

Also, you don't have to create a new bug report.

Once the BIOS is updated, if the problem is still reproducible, and the
information above is provided, then please mark this report Status
Confirmed. Otherwise, please mark this as Invalid.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  Support for Ambient Light Sensor in ASUS Zenbook UX301LAA

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  On a wiki page related to ASUS Zenbook
  (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AsusZenbookPrime) there is a note
  about Ambient Light Sensor:

  ===
  Ambient light sensor: They keycode to use is 248, that is "fn"+"A", the icon on the "A" is a sensor with lightrays and the text auto. Doesn't work by default, because a driver exists but it's not included in kernel source. Need testing. Bug is reported. You can, however, use an external application to make it work: https://github.com/danieleds/Asus-Zenbook-Ambient-Light-Sensor-Controller.
  ===

  According to referenced bug report
  (https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=70421), the bug is fixed
  long time ago. Can we have this sensor supported at last?
