Comment 87 for bug 1348890

I have a UX305FA. I do not use any kernel parameters and the graphical controls work when doing:
sudo apt-get install xbacklight

Then under open Settings>keyboard>shortcuts

Add custom shortcut keys with:

xbacklight -dec 10

xbacklight -inc 10

I used ALT+F5 and F6.

I didn't notice the ambiant sensor on the A until now :).
It doesn't work for me either.

Does anyone know which event should be send so we can remap it as a work around?

I run Ubuntu 16.10 with 4.8.0-27 kernel.

I hope some developers can pick this up? A lot of folks are affected.
