Bug Description
On my laptop ASUS UX410UQK, the hotkey does not toggle automatic brightness as intended.
Below is the result I got after two (Fn + A) strokes.
$ sudo evtest

Somehow monitor-sensor always reports the ambient light value as 400 lux, which seems incorrect.
$ monitor-sensor
Waiting for iio-sensor-proxy to appear
+++ iio-sensor-proxy appeared
=== No accelerometer
=== Has ambient light sensor (value: 400,000000, unit: lux)
=== No proximity sensor
I have made some test with Windows 10 21H1, using this tool https:/
When the ambient light senor is disable via the hotkey, it always report value as 400 lux to Windows.
When the sensor is enable, the value changes as the ambient light condition changes.
It seems that in Ubuntu, the sensor is acting as it is in disable state; as observed in Windows.
So I am not sure if the key event is not registered, or if Ubuntu cannot enable the sensor.

Ubuntu 21.10 is no longer supported. Is this still a problem in newer releases?
