Hello! I’m using Fedora 33 on my new Asus G14 laptop. I am dual-booting with a Windows partition for gaming and a Fedora partition for work. My issue is that I can’t figure out how to control the keyboard backlight in Fedora. It seems to be somewhat random whether the backlight is on or off when I boot up Fedora, and from that point I can’t control the brightness. My main goal is just to disable the light.
Here’s the output of a few terminal commands. The keyboard backlight is on as I type these. Any ideas or points of advice for troubleshooting this are very welcome! Sorry, I don’t really know what I’m doing!
$ ls /sys/class/leds
asus-wireless::airplane input5::numlock input6::kana
input5::capslock input5::scrolllock input6::numlock
input5::compose input6::capslock input6::scrolllock
input5::kana input6::compose phy0-led
I use the light
package to adjust the screen backlight; I have keys mapped to raise or lower the brightness using the GNOME keymap settings.
$ light -L
