I tried last Liquorix kernel on my ASUS Q400A laptop and P4P800E-Delux PC, on the first one I was not able to adjust screen brightness in the power manager, on the second one the UPS APC was not apearing any there. Comparing with original Debian kernel I found it has an ACPI_ASUS in the config file and Liquorix kernel not. Can be that a reason? Why ACPI_ASUS is not exist any more?

Today the MATE was updated with 1.6 version, but no changes. The screen brightness can't be adjusted, in addition the bluetooth become "on" every time I restart system even if keep it "off".
With original Wheezy kernel 3.2.0-4 both works fine.

Can you try modprobing asus-laptop, asus-wmi, and asus-nb-wmi one at a time and testing your backlight? Liquorix / Zen never included any special asus modules, only what was available upstream.

as root, run this command:

:: Code ::
modprobe asus-laptop
modprobe asus-wmi
modprobe asus-nb-wmi


you run those in terminal or console, and you hit enter after typing in or copying each line.

Then you copy the output and paste it in here.

To copy off of a terminal, simply highlight the text you want copied, then use your center mouse button, or whatever the equivalent is on a laptop, and click it, to paste.

Hopefully gnome or whatever hasn't broken that behavior.

Can you show us the output of this single line:

:: Code ::
for i in $(find /etc/modprobe.d/ -type f); do grep -H 'options' $i; done


I suspect you have a deprecated configuration in your modprobe.d folder.

Can you answer anything, so I'll know some solution is not far away.

With last "3.8-8.dmz.1-liquorix-amd64" kernel, same.

The latest Debian stable kernel was installed, so I've get some changes:
:: Code ::
root@asus-q400a:/home/xxxxxx# for i in $(find /etc/modprobe.d/ -type f); do grep -H 'options' $i; done
root@asus-q400a:/home/xxxxxx#

The only important thing is not working with Debian kernel now is keyboard brightness (and for sure unbelievably old Atheros malfunctioning network driver).
The bluetooth on/of is functioning now with Liquorix kernel, but neither screen brightness nor keyboard brightness.
No one of this patches make it work:
asus-kbd-backlight_0.1~ppa5_amd64.deb
asus-keyboard-backlight_0.1_src.tar.gz
asus-wmi-dkms_0.2_all.deb
asus-wmi-dkms_999.01_all.deb
acpi-support_0.141_amd64.deb
