Title:
  1002:68e0 [Asus K52Je] Backlight not working after boot

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  There is no backlight on my Asus X52Je notebook after boot. It works
  fine at the grub stage and splash sreen but afterwards it just goes
  black (though you can barely see something - that's why i could turn
  on the monitor clone option and use a secondary display). Function
  keys work and there is an entrance in /sys/class/backlight/ - it just
  doesn't do anything. I've had this problem since 12.04 - i think it
  started after one of the software updates. It did work for quite some
  time before. I'm now at 14.04 and all the versions up to this point
  had the same problem (12.10, 13.04, 13.10).

  Also tried some common workarounds, like:
  acpi_backlight=vendor
  acpi_osi=Linux
  acpi=off
  video.use_bios_initial_backlight=0
  video.use_native_backlight=1

  The attachements have the required diagnostic files.
