Description Agustin Barto 2016-02-17 16:11:24 UTC
Description of problem:

My Asus laptop model Q551LN brightness keys won't work on Fedora 23 unless I use the acpi_osi= workaround on the grub command line.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot Fedora 23 normally
2. Hit the brightness keys (Fn+F5 and Fn+F6)
3. Reboot Fedora 23 adding "acpi_osi=" to the GRUB command lie
4. Hit the brightness keys (Fn+F5 and Fn+F6)

Actual results:

No results in step #2, brightness keys work fine in step #4.

Expected results:

Brightness keys should work out of the box.

Additional info:

There have been similar problems with other Asus laptops:
