I have got my X230 with Qubes preinstalled. Everything seems to work
well, but I cant switch-on the backlit keyboard. Pressing Fn+Space just
cycles between ON and OFF of the upper light (besides camera). The X230
of course has, or should have, the backlit keyboard.

I didn't find any options in the Qubes Settings Manager to make it run.
How can I make it run?

Thank you!

This isn't a Qubes issue, because the backlit keyboard works fine on
varieties of 4.
Just to check - you **do** have a backlit keyboard? When you look at the
lamp icon on the space bar, are the beams pointing to the screen or
toward you?

Ah I see. The beams pointing towards me.

Regrettably you do not have a back lit keyboard.
