#SAGER CLEVO FAN CONTROL INSTALL#
Now you have to uninstall the driver that you installed using the manual method - but I instead waited for the next kernel update to arrive and just didn't install the driver manually. Sudo cp Makefile /usr/src/clevo-xsm-wmi-0.1.1/ Sudo cp clevo-xsm-wmi.c /usr/src/clevo-xsm-wmi-0.1.1/ You should now have a file path something likeĬode: Select all sudo mkdir /usr/src/clevo-xsm-wmi-0.1.1 Rename the folder to make things easier (I renamed mine to clevo)
#SAGER CLEVO FAN CONTROL HOW TO#
Note: I haven't got the GUI working or figured out how to get the module to load on boot, but this will at least get your function keys working so you can turn the LED's on/off, adjust brightness, and change colour.ĭownload the latest repository. I figured it out! Here's what you need to do if you have the same or similar laptop but are struggling to get it working. Maybe changing to any other colour than blue would be cool too, but I won't get my hopes up. If anyone can help me get it working like it does in Windows I'd be over the moon, but honestly just being able to turn it on and off would be stellar.
It's currently always on (colour is blue), and while that's useful most of the time it's kind of annoying when I'm watching films and stuff in a dark room and I find myself putting a black shirt over the keyboard to block it out.Īdding acpi_backlight=vendor to grub on boot - function keys still do nothing I found some Python stuff on Github and a couple of Youtube videos showing off that it is doable, but next to nothing in the way of useful directions for a newbie like myself to follow to make any of it work.Īt this point I just want to be able to turn the keyboard backlight on and off. So I've pretty much given up on trying to get the backlight on this Metabox N850EK (Clevo) laptop working like it does in Windows with all the pretty colours and behaviours.
