[Bug 95444] Re: No Screen Backlight Control; Notebooks (Vaio, Macbook, HP/Compaq, Samsung, Zepto et al.) with Nvidia Geforce8/Geforce9/Quadro series graphics

[Icapa]

I'm sure your script is good, nvclock works perfectly but my Fn5 and Fn6
couldn't be detected, is there any test reading directly from keyboard
driver to see if keys are detected?
