1 Hi!
2
3 I got a new Asus Zenbook laptop, with a ryzen 4500U processor. Most
4 things run great, except those brightness keys!
5
6 Nothing is reported when pressing them, either with showkeys or
7 acpi_listen, so I can't bind them to a shortcut. Brightness by changing
8 the value in /sys/class/backlight/amdgpu_b10/brightness works fine.
9
10 I have asus_wmi and asus_nb_wmi modules loaded, so things like
11 multitouch pad and keyboard backlight work fine.
12
13 I'm running a 5.10.27 gentoo sources kernel. Most people on the net say
14 that using the 'acpi_osi= ' parameter fixes it, but in my case it just
15 hangs at kernel boot. Did try e.g. acpi_osi=Linux, but nothing changed.
16
17 At the same time, using a live Manjaro usb both brightness keys work
18 fine, and they are usable under Gnome.
19
20 I'm sure I'm missing something in my kernel configuration.... Any ideas?
21
22 Thanks!
