This was originally intended for an Asus G73 laptop. I have an Asus G55VW laptop, and it works great. (It requires the installation of 2 separate scripts!) I didn’t even change the directory name. (/home/jed/g73) Scripts attached at bottom of post…
This is taken directly from the README file included with the g73 script;
1. Clone this repository to your home directory (or wherever you want to, I’ll do this example in ~/ for simplicity)
cd
git clone git://github.com/ktoso/g73-keyboard-backlight-sh.git g73
2. Make sure all scripts are marked executable:
cd g73
chmod +x *.sh
3. Take a look at these scripts to make sure you trust them! Why? Because they’ll need root access, without asking for the password. Now, we’ll add these scripts to allow `sudo`to run them without asking for any password:
su -c ‘visudo’ # or ‘sudo visudo‘ if you’re a sudoer (on VSIDO etc)
Then, just add the following lines at the end of the sudoer file (or similar, with the script names etc). Of course, read more
