Kieran,

thanks for the help.
./probe alwyas returns just

The KBDBacklitLvl* variable seems to be right:
xxd -p KBDBacklitLvl-8be4df61-93ca-11d2-aa0d-00e098032b8c
0700000001
Writing 0700000005 makes the keyboard backlight bright on next reboot.

Btw: The FN-Key for keyboard brightness shows the statusbar on the desktop, it just doesn't change.
