    Hmm. Doesn't seem to work for me.
    I unzipped the tar.gz file.
    Then I put the files in /usr/bin. I ran build.sh (had to change the access rights).
    But then it comes up with an error:
    Code:
    /usr/bin/asus-laptop.c:1371: error: too few arguments to function ‘backlight_device_register’
    What am I doing wrong?

    Hello guys, sorry for my poor english.

    I fixed my problem with this https://launchpad.net/asus-keyboard-backlight

    The best part is that you can install the fix like a package with few clicks.
    It is working very well in my asus G60Jx with Ubuntu 10.10 64 bits.

    I hope I've helped somebody.

    The problem is solved in the new Ubuntu (11.10).

    I would hardly say that...

    I just tested that new 11.10 and my keyboard backlight is one amongst a lot of things that work pretty badly!

    I haven't tested my fix on this new 11.10 and I don't know if the ACPI management has been changed so far.

    I am really considering moving out to Debian once again... Back to basics!
    That Squeeze appeals me a lot.
