Title:
  Backlight brightness adjustment and Fn keys do not work on Asus G75VW
  series laptop on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The backlight brightness adjustment through the Brightness and Lock
  settings and also through the use of the function keys on the Asus
  G75VW model laptop do not function. Changing the brightness with the
  slider in the Brightness and Lock settings yields no change in
  brightness, and using fn+F5 and fn+F6, which are the buttons used as
  hotkeys for brightness adjustment, also produce no change in
  brightness.
