[Bug 1492137] Re: Brightness keys (fn+f5/f6) not working, UX305FA

 

--- acpi_osi removed from kernel parameters in grub ---

Hotkeys still not working, brightness applet working.

By https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Debugging/Backlight
I am in the following situation:
"Backlight control works through the brightness applet but not via hotkeys."

Thereafter following the link on debugging hotkeys
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hotkeys/Troubleshooting

Results from step-by-step troubleshooting:
	- Nothing registered with xev when pressing fn+f5/f6 (backlight down/up)
	- Nothing registered with evtest when pressing fn+f5/f6
	- Nothing registered with acpi_listen when pressing fn+f5/f6 (other fn-key functions such as turning off the touchpad are registered)

Also, please find the files produced by commands under "Useful
Information to Collect in Reports" attached.

--- WORKAROUND in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Debugging/Backlight ---

Booting with only acpi_backlight=vendor, adjusting the brightness
through the applet stops working as well. The brightness changes when
executing "echo 8 > /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness".

Booting with only video.use_bios_initial_backlight=0, brightness applet
works, but not the brightness hotkeys.

Booting with only acpi_osi=, neither applet nor hotkeys work.

Booting with only video.use_native_backlight=1, applet works but not
hotkeys.

Also, please find vendorbacklight and lslabacklight files attached.

--- Kernel v4.5-rc4-wily ---

Problem still exists
