How can I enable keyboard backlight on Sony Vaio pro with Ubuntu 13.10
How can I enable keyboard backlight on Sony Vaio pro with Ubuntu 13.10?
I have already tried setting the bit in /sys/devices/platform/sony-laptop/kbd_backlight with
echo 1 | sudo tee /sys/devices/platform/sony-laptop/kbd_backlight
and when saving the file I can see the bit has changed, but my keyboard still stays off.
Has anyone else had this problem, and found a way to fix this?

Check also /sys/devices/platform/sony-laptop/kbd_backlight_timeout where:
0(default) = 10 secs
1= 30 secs,
2= 60 secs and
3= unlimited.
Or possibly use a /etc/modprobe.d/sony-laptop.conf file with:
options sony-laptop kbd_backlight=2
