Keyboard backlight works fine when powering up from Off, but after going to sleep it stays off. The app at https://keyboard.frame.work/ allows me to change settings but they have no effect. Same goes for the Keyboard widget from top right system tray and keyboard controls of FN-space etc.
Sounds the same as Framework 16 rgb lights don't turn back on after sleep (Windows).

Howdy @Matt_Wilkie!
Sorry to hear you’re having these issues with your keyboard recovering from sleep. I have been spending quite some time trying to replicate this issue on Fedora and other Fedora-based distros but have not been able to do so yet. Based on that, if you have not already I would like to encourage you to open up a Support Request. This could be an issue with the firmware of your specific keyboard, or something similar.
another data point: keyboard backlight restarts fine from resume for me using both Ubuntu 24 LTS and Fedora Workstation 41 Live USB, so I guess it’s not surprising @Jesse_Darnley hasn’t replicated it. I’ll see if I can turn anything up from the Bluefin community.
Also, a workaround from the Win11 thread: disconnecting and reconnecting the touchpad will restart the keyboard lights. It only takes a few seconds, especially with practice, and no reboot needed.
I don’t think so. I’ve got exactly the same issue (also Fedora) and already reported this in another thread.
this is an issue for me as well, i have a support ticket open for this at the moment
i’m on linux 6.13.6-arch1-1, and haven’t been able to replicate this on ubuntu 24.04
