Hi Mint Gurus,
I recently installed Linux Mint 14 in my Asus K46CA. It is great all in all except for some minor problems.
1. Using fn + f5 (decrease brightness) or fn + f6 (increase brightness) are not working.
2. System tray time is not updating.
Thanks
Keyboard not working correctly for some reason.

Re: Keyboard not working correctly for some reason.
You might need to go into your keyboard settings and try resetting the brightness adjustment hotkeys.
You never mentioned what DE you're using, so I can't help you on the clock.

I'm using Cinnamon as DE.
Re: Keyboard not working correctly for some reason.
Not updating meaning stuck at a certain time, or not updating as in not connecting to a NTP server and synchronizing? You might want to check that your hardware clock is working properly. Do a quick google search on that. I believe the command is just hwclock.
Re: Keyboard not working correctly for some reason.
Yes it is stuck in the time when I booted it until I shutdown.
In the system tray the time is "9:04 PM" while using "sudo hwclock" is "Mon 01 Apr 2013 09:09:29 PM PHT -0.235099 seconds".
Any idea?
