[Sergio Callegari <sergio.callegari@xxxxxxxxx>]

Same issue here with a Schenker S413, identical to clevo W740SU, Sager
NP240 and System 76 Galago ultrapro.

Probem is worse than described, though.

If you attach an external monitor and

xrandr --ouptput HDMI2 --auto --output eDP1 --off

(i.e. switch on external monitor, off internal one)

then going back to

xrandr --output eDP1 --auto

leaves the laptop screen at brightness 0 (black).  Since the brightness
keys are not working, the only way to go back to a usable laptop is to
reboot.

The system 76 package in the system76 ppa may have a fix for this, but
cannot be setup on machines that do not include the system76 signature
in the bios.

Title:
  8086:0416 [Clevo W350ST] brightness keys don't work on Kubuntu

Status in The Linux Kernel:
  Unknown
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  The Fn+F8 and Fn+F9 keys are not working on my Clevo W350ST with
  Kubuntu Raring to change screen brightness of the internal laptop
  screen. I installed linux-headers-3.11.0-4, linux-
  headers-3.11.0-4-generic,  linux-image-3.11.0-4-generic and linux-
  image-extra-3.11.0-4-generic  from Saucy packages repository but the
  problem persists. Edit: Bug persists with v3.13-rc6-trusty.

  When trying the following event codes appear correctly:
  xev | sed -n 's/^.*state \([0-9].*\), keycode *\([0-9]\+\) *\(.*\), .*$/keycode \2 = \3, state = \1/p'
  keycode 36 = (keysym 0xff0d, Return), state = 0x10
  keycode 232 = (keysym 0x1008ff03, XF86MonBrightnessDown), state = 0x10
  keycode 233 = (keysym 0x1008ff02, XF86MonBrightnessUp), state = 0x10

  And changing:
  /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness

  changes the brightness of the screen, but pressing the key combination does not. I believe this happens because the key combination is, in fact, changing the value of:
  /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness

  I have in my package sources:
  http://ppa.launchpad.net/xorg-edgers/ppa/ubuntu
  http://ppa.launchpad.net/bumblebee/stable/ubuntu

  WORKAROUND: acpi_backlight=vendor
  (but this breaks autoswitch to external monitor when connecting one to VGA port)
