[Harry P <1519282@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

So for one reason or another I ended up reinstalling the OS, and it's
now booting in traditional BIOS mode rather than EFI, and sure enough
the backlight works again.  Not sure whether that means this should be
marked against a different package?

Title:
  Keyboard backlight stopped working after upgrade to Wily

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I'm using a Samsung Ativ Book 9.  Keyboard backlight worked OK under
  Vivid, seems to have stopped working since I installed Wily.  Can't
  see any evidence of it in /sys/class.

  Happy to do any further debugging if it helps.
