ASUS Screenpad Control

This repository contains a version of the asus-wmi module with support for brightness control on secondary screens ("ScreenPad Plus") on ASUS Zenbook Duo notebooks. It also adds a few keys from the Zenbook Duo keyboard (Camera, /A, screen switch, toggle ScreenPad) so they can be mapped in your desktop environment.
