Samsung series 9 (90X3A), keyboard backlit, anyone?

[mangoo]

Did anyone have any success with keyboard backlit on Samsung series 9 (90X3A) laptops?

Right now, when pressing Fn + F7, dmesg shows this:

Code: Select all

atkbd serio0: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0x97 on isa0060/serio0).
atkbd serio0: Use 'setkeycodes e017 <keycode>' to make it known.

When pressing Fn + F8, dmesg shows this:

Code: Select all

atkbd serio0: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0x96 on isa0060/serio0).
atkbd serio0: Use 'setkeycodes e016 <keycode>' to make it known.

And it's not possible to control the keyboard LEDs.

I have the new 900X series 9 and have the same problem although my functions keys for the back lit keyboard are f9 and f10. I'm very interested if you find a solution. I will do the same if I find the answer

My dmesg output for f9 and f10 respectively is:


[ 5042.786519] atkbd serio0: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0x97 on isa0060/serio0).
[ 5042.786529] atkbd serio0: Use 'setkeycodes e017 <keycode>' to make it known.

[ 5044.505674] atkbd serio0: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0x96 on isa0060/serio0).
[ 5044.505687] atkbd serio0: Use 'setkeycodes e016 <keycode>' to make it known.

Any help would be appreciated.
Jeff.
