[RK <1392016@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have now tested the very latest kernel, version 3.19 rc 1 (from
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.19-rc1-vivid/), and
backlight control still does not work.

The indicator does pop up and indicates increase and decrease in the
correct way, but the actual backlight level on the laptop screen does
not change.

Furthermore, the function key to turn off the touchpad does not work,
and doesn't even show an indicator bubble.
