Hello,
I was trying to set-up arch on a new asus laptop, I was binding my Fn keys and I remarked the backlight keys are not working (ie. X does not receives any event when I run xev).
I dig a little and found there is a kernel module "asus_laptop".
modinfo asus_laptop
filename: /lib/modules/4.1.6-1-ARCH/kernel/drivers/platform/x86/asus-laptop.ko.gz
license: GPL

alias: acpi*:ATK0101:*
alias: acpi*:ATK0100:*
depends: sparse-keymap,input-polldev,led-class,rfkill
...
...
but when I try to add it :
sudo modprobe asus_laptop
I get :
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'asus_laptop': No such device
I googled the problem extensively and some people says it's a bug (there is a bug report on this for redhat) but some people say it is a acpi only module and cannot be loaded.
I hope you will be able to help me.

You should name the exact model, there are so many Asus machines. What works definetely depends on the model.
I know there are different modules, maybe another one is autodetected? for example "asus-nb-wmi". If yes, have a try to boot with the "acpi_osi=" kernel parameter.

Hello,
Thank you for your answer, The exact model is ASUS BU401LG-FA123G . I already have asus-nb-wmi enabled and I tried setting acpi_osi=Linux in /boot/loader/entries/arch.conf in the option line. And still have the problem.
Thank you,
