I'm on a N550JV with bumblebee installed, in case that matters. I've tried adding acpi_osi= to the grub command line with no success. I've also tried adding asus_nb_wmi.conf file to etc/modules-load.d/ without any success as well. I've asked elsewhere (https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/53830/asus-n550jv-brightness-keys-and-sd-card-reader-not-working/?comment=53980#comment-53980) but it seems like my last resort is to post here: Hey man, would you be the nicest and swellest person I know and help me out here? I'm dying without the ability to control this backlight—even xbacklight doesn't work!<br /><br />Thanks!Torvumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16760121036781717061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003008304746598420.post-43638360037080197642014-05-10T04:05:58.812+01:002014-05-10T04:05:58.812+01:00You need to add custom resolutions to Xorg.

I'm also a linux newbie so...please be patient. I can only have one resolution: 1920x1080 (16:9). All hte other lower resolutions can be set but never with a 16:9 ratio. It only gives me 5:4 and 4:3 ratios. Is this a graphic driver problema? Can I change this somehow?

I'm sure with light use you will get more than that.<br /><br />For the clickpad, I haven't tried ginn. I've got a Anywhere MX and use that instead of the clickpad as much as possible.

I was wondering how long battery lasts after all power management tweaks? <br />Initially, I got 2 hrs. After bumblebee installation battery lasts for 3 hrs. I was wondering if it gets -significantly- better after other power management tweaks.<br />Hmm, also you have SSD now, so you should have much better battery life.<br /><br />One more question, I am using synclient to configure clickpad. It's working okay but I heard there's ginn to configure to full potential, but I wasn't able to make ginn work. Can you do pinch-rotate with your clickpad?<br />Thanks.Alperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10532312856664776498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003008304746598420.post-35177124708936138152013-12-31T14:25:21.992+00:002013-12-31T14:25:21.992+00:00Subwoofer issue has been fixed in kernel 3.13-rc2....Subwoofer issue has been fixed in kernel 3.13-rc2.<br />https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=65091!Cihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14554598075507145188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003008304746598420.post-9477687696834914722013-10-14T11:35:38.819+01:002013-10-14T11:35:38.819+01:00Hi,

I carefully remove the 5400 and put the SSD, but after remount/rebooting, the BIOS did't show me the drive.

The module loads and detects a new block device, but the reader doesn't detect media for some reason. I didn't check this last part initially as the kmod-staging package was missing for the latest kernel, so I only checked if the module loaded properly. I'm using an external card reader anyway so it is not an issue for me, but I'll take a look whether this bug has been reported.<br /><br />BTW, is your battery working now?Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08602184995545470886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003008304746598420.post-23079427579150871172013-09-18T00:12:58.885+01:002013-09-18T00:12:58.885+01:00Awesome, now both LCD brightness and wireless hot ...Awesome, now both LCD brightness and wireless hot keys work.<br />I would suggest putting the acpi_osi="" in the /etc/default/grub [GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX], so I will be applied to the new installed kernels as well.<br /><br />Did you have any luck with the SD card reader? the staging driver for rts5139 (kmod-staging from rpmfusion) is not working for me.Fahad Alduraibihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10164641081501760292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003008304746598420.post-2668262808875364402013-09-17T09:09:54.927+01:002013-09-17T09:09:54.927+01:00For the Fn-keys, don't put any other acpi opti...For the Fn-keys, don't put any other acpi options in the kernel command line apart from acpi_osi="" .

To fix this, I resat the battery and then the issue was gone. After doing that, the battery at the beginning didn't show a lot of stats, but it started to return all of the normal numbers after a few charge cycles.<br /><br />At first I thought that this may be because when I replaced the HDD with SDD, I didn't resit the battery correctly, but now having seen that other people experiencing this as well, I suppose this may be because the battery needs time to acclimatise, or that installing Fedora from the Live USB reset something in the battery (maybe due to ACPI on an older kernel, or something similar).<br /><br />In any case, I recommended upgrading to the latest kernel version and resitting the battery. That worked for me.Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08602184995545470886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003008304746598420.post-7715437452879727412013-09-16T01:46:09.727+01:002013-09-16T01:46:09.727+01:00Hi, I have probably the same laptop (N550JV-DB72T ...Hi, I have probably the same laptop (N550JV-DB72T maybe this is the US model number!) and have similar specs.
