Bug Description
The LED-Illuminated LCD brightness cannot be changed neither
1) using hot keys, Fn+Up and Fn+Down (both are detected by acpi_listen, but dbus does not detect Fn+Up -- if needed I file another bug on this issue only)
or 2) echo 1 > /sys/class/
or 3) using /proc/acpi/video ... (which do not exist).
The only way is calling 'nvidia-settings -a brightness=xxx'. I don't know if this hardware accepts real brightness changes, if not (so it is not a bug in linux), I would be glad if you can help me tweak acpi and dbus to call nvidia-settings (nvclock does not work).
$ acpi_listen
video LCD 00000086 00000000 [Fn+Up]
video LCD 00000087 00000000 [Fn+Down]
$ dbus-monitor interface=
signal sender=
string ":1.143"
[Fn+Up does nothing, but Fn+Down:]
signal sender=:1.16 -> dest=(null destination) serial=62 path=/org/
uint32 87
Thank you in advance.

I have the same problem with an LG R590-5500. I think this is the same problem with LG R580 reported in another bug: /bugs.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +source/ udev-extras/ +bug/514855
https:/
As the BIOS updates from LG for R580 and R590 usually are the same, I believe the hardware are very similar.
