Bug Description

Release: 12.04
Distribution: XUbuntu
System: Asus G55VW

Hitting hotkeys for the keyboard backlight brightness has no effect.

Hitting hotkeys for the keyboard backlight brightness generates a X key event (XF86KbdBrightnessUp, XF86KbdBrightnessDown) as seen by xev but no ACPI event is seen by acpi_listen.

Invoking /etc/acpi/asus-keyboard-backlight.sh directly as root changes the keyboard backlight correctly.

Same here, with Asus Zenbook UX32VD. Ubuntu on the other hand works well, the problem only appears to be affecting Xubuntu and possibly other Ubuntu derivates.
