Hello I´m new in the forum so this ist my first question :) I have installed Ubuntu 18.04 on my new Zenbook ux433fn with used to have a new fancy illuminated numpad in the touchpad. Like I expected it doesn´t work with Ubuntu and I wounder if it is possible to add the functionality?

Does no one has an idea? – G-Unit Feb 11 '19 at 10:11

Would be also interested. I am considering buying ux433fn, but would not like to see that such feature is not yet supported. As an off-topic can I ask you if all other features are working fine on Ubuntu ? – Jurosh Mar 03 '19 at 20:41

The only things I have noticed are a pretty high battety drain in sleep Mode and that the Fn-lock (fn +Esc) ist not working. First issue can be solved by setting up suspend Mode when lid is closing. But I was unable to get the fn-lock working. – G-Unit Mar 04 '19 at 21:10

Any solution? I'm having the same problem. – Carlos Higa Mar 13 '19 at 17:31

You might push for this bug to be resolved. Other than that, I would not expect this feature to work: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1810183 – arkhi Apr 04 '19 at 11:51

the fn-lock works in kernel 5.2.x (I'm on 5.2.7 on Fedora) – njLT Aug 14 '19 at 20:15

I maintain latest & most featured version of Asus numpad/touchpad driver. Link https://github.com/asus-linux-drivers/asus-touchpad-numpad-driver. If any problems persist, please contact me via github contact e-mail or create issue on github repository. If you use laptop Asus WMI hotkeys (Fn+Fx keys) or Asus accessories like stylus you might be interested in other drivers https://github.com/asus-linux-drivers, install them in the same way as numpad one.
