Keyboard Backlight Issue


Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

Wondering if anyone knows how to remedy this?

 

I have a CMStorm Keyboard that has a backlight, to turn it on however you have to press the scroll lock key.

 

I performed a fresh install of Ubuntu 14.10 x64 today, and much to my suprise pressing scroll lock doesn't activate the light anymore.  I have tested it on another machine (windows) just to make sure and it works fine.

 

I would'nt really mind, but the key letters are see through for the light, so without it, I can't make out what I'm typing.

 

Anyone know of anything I can do?

 

Thanks :)

Not sure if this helps, mate, but I found this page. If you don't have xset, you can probably install it from the normal Ubuntu repos (using in a terminal the command "sudo apt-get install xset").

That was exactly what I was looking for!

 

Thanks mate :)
