[Bug 1072371] Re: Add special keys for Samsung Series 9 laptops

[jhnwsk]

Hi guys,

First of all thanks for the awesome work, you've brought my Fn keyboard backlight keys back to life!
Unfortunately although I see they work now, all they do is show the keyboard backlight notification maxed out. I think it's around halfway up and stays that way. So they work but don't do their job.

Any ideas on this? It'd be awesome for this to work.

Also on a side note, the silent mode key works on a fresh 12.04 install.
Showing three possible fan states. I don't know but maybe this helps you
figure it out. (12.04 not possible since it doesn't support EFI right?)
