Hey Fedi, I need a little bit of tech support help here, I am completely stumped.
I just bought myself a new ASUS laptop (ASUS TUF A16 FA608PM-RV072), and I've noticed that my keyboard's backlight does not turn on. I am using Ultramarine Linux.
I know the backlight works because it lights up before bootup, but as soon as the bootup sequence begins, it turns off. The operating system thinks it is up at max.
I tried installing asusctl, ROG Control Center, and even doing a full reinstall and enabling the CachyOS kernel inside of Ultramarine's install options (then installing asusctl and ROG Control Center on the reinstall), but I cannot get the backlight to turn on.
The laptop otherwise works fine, but I really do want the keyboard backlight to work.
If any of you have any solutions or troubleshooting steps, please send them my way - and if not, please take a moment to boost if you'd like, I really want to get this issue fixed.
