Hi! I've just buy this new laptop and I've installed arch. It's almost all ok but I have a problem with the brightness fn key. From the Plasma system settings I can change the brightness but when I use fn keys it seems that I don't touch anything Looking for answer on google I've found some answer but none has worked for me.
I have tryed to:
- Install ACPI and ACPID
- Add some line in /boot/loader/entries/arch.conf
title Arch Linux
linux /vmlinuz-linux
initrd /initramfs-linux.img acpi_backlight=vendor
options root=PARTUUID=6a6996d9-157e-447c-9c53-3520ac54c270 rw
- Create a file named 20-intel.conf:
Section "Device"
Identifier "card0"
Driver "intel"
Option "Backlight" "intel_backlight"
BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
EndSection
What else can I try?

It's a known bug in the kernel, it happens with all the newest asus laptops. There are some bug reports like this one: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=98931

initrd /initramfs-linux.img acpi_backlight=vendor
The parameters are supposed to be added to the "options" line, after "rw"
You can also try the other parameters listed here:

I already tryed all the parameter indicated there, both in the options line and in the initrd line but noting of them works

I've read all the comments, I've seen that there is a patch but I don't know how to apply it, so I'm going with a classical new shortcuts with another two keys. Thanks anyway!
