Hi List, Just loaded our favorite OS onto my new ASUS laptop. Practically everything worked out of the box - I used the live DVD to check things out and installed from there. I have followed http://forum.notebookreview.com/asus-gaming-notebook-forum/553474-g73-asus-w... to get suspend working and also to get function keys working for LCD screen backlight controls working (Fn F5 and Fn F6). Upon further searches I find that there is a kernel module asus-wmi.ko available in some distros that also allows some of the other Asus functions to operate - of particular interest is the keyboard backlight (Fn F3 and Fn F4) as well as the master backlight on/off key to function.
Question, does anyone know where and how to locate this (asus-wmi.ko) and get it functioning under CentOS 6.2?
I am prepared to set up the required build environment - but need some assistance as this is really at the limits of my experience. I have rebuilt the kernel to remove patches with some success previously and will have to dust off this knowledge if required.
TIA
