You should try this driver: http://sourceforge.net/p/clevo-wmi/wiki/Home/

More information can be found here: http://forum.notebookreview.com/linux-compatibility-software/708796-clevo-p150em-p170em-sager-np9150-9170-backlit-keyboard-driver-beta-testers-needed.html

Lighting up after suspend, changing colors and patterns, all works for me.

You can re-enable the backlight by pressing Fn (function) + * on the number pad.

System76 released a new laptop (the Bonobo Extreme) that appears to use the same keyboard. I downloaded their newest system76-driver and the previous one from their website and did a two-way diff, but did not see any changes that would cause the keyboard backlight to work. – AndrewX192 Dec 26 '12 at 22:59
does it work to switch out the colors? I would love to be able to change the keyboard colors under ubuntu – user577732 Jan 6 at 22:45
