Hi List,
Just loaded our favorite OS onto my new ASUS laptop.
Practically everything worked out of the box - I used the live DVD to
check things out and installed from there.
I have followed
http://forum.notebookreview.com/asus-gaming-notebook-forum/553474-g73-asus-wmi-linux-driver-i-need-your-help-6.html
to get suspend working and also to get function keys working for LCD
screen backlight controls working (Fn F5 and Fn F6).
Upon further searches I find that there is a kernel module asus-wmi.ko
available in some distros that also allows some of the other Asus
functions to operate - of particular interest is the keyboard backlight
(Fn F3 and Fn F4) as well as the master backlight on/off key to function.
Question, does anyone know where and how to locate this (asus-wmi.ko)
and get it functioning under CentOS 6.2?
I am prepared to set up the required build environment - but need some
assistance as this is really at the limits of my experience. I have
rebuilt the kernel to remove patches with some success previously and
will have to dust off this knowledge if required.
TIA
