```

None of this worked. Interestingly, the keyboard backlight works on Manjaro
Linux.

Any help would surely be appreciated!

--- Comment #1 from Blake McBride <blake(a)mcbridemail.com&gt; ---
The keyboard backlight is controlled by the Window-F4 key.  No other steps are
needed.  Everything is fine.
