I know this not a new issue concerning brightness, however, I am anxious to get this working. I added acpi_backlight=vendor to the boot parameters which allows me to change the brightness using brightness and lock but the fn + up and fn + down just turns the screen off forcing me to close the lid and reopen.

I feel like the only thing I need to do is change some values somewhere to allow these keys to change in increments, but i am not sure how. I have read of some scripts some people have wrote for other laptops, but I have not tried with mine for fear it may not work.

Did you tried this way:

step 1: terminal sudo gedit /etc/default/grub

step 2: modify your file at line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="" like that: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="acpi_osi=\"Windows 2012\""

step 3: terminal sudo update-grub

step 4: reboot

Worked for me on Asus X501A running Ubuntu 13.04 (same problem with fn keys)

  • Thank you for your response! I was hoping this would finally be the solution but it does not work for me, unless I have done something wrong. I added a "!" before windows 2012 also and that did not work either. I also removed the acpi_backlight=vendor and tried it like that too and it did not work. I am open to any more suggestions, and thank you for your response! – user177480 Jul 26 '13 at 04:09
