Just guessing. I can't guarantee it will work. ALSO. If the backlight comes on and off. Try it without using sudo. As a user instead.
Oh yeah, if it works as user without sudo.
Create file /etc/xdg/autostart/backlight.desktop
In the blank file you will put
Code:[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=Asus GL551JM Backlight
Exec=xset led 3
Icon=system-run
X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true
Hopefully. That will light up your keyboard right after you login. I am no coder. Just a Linux using Biker/Scooter Tramp. You might also need to make the /etc/xdg/autostart/backlight.desktop executable also before it will work.
Code:gksu thunar
will be your friend in doing this under file permissions.
This unfortunately did not work. The keyboard backlight doesn't come on. Thanks for the suggestion.
I re-worded my question in the original post to state "Keyboard backlight".
Sorry for the confusion there. :o ??? ;D
