Discussed in #12

After two years with my Aorus 15P, I stumbled across your repository today and am super happy that I finally got the screen brightness keys (Fn+F3/F4) to work. A big thank you for your work!

Unfortunately there is currently no ppa for my distribution and so I was forced to compile your drivers by hand into my kernel. I use the current Linux Mint version which uses Ubuntu 22.04. (jammy) as a base.

And so I would like to ask you: would it be possible for you to update your ppa to Ubuntu 22.04.?

@rcassani hey!
just came across your repos for Aorus 15P and finally, i have some hope to get it work with linux :)
btw , Do you know how can i install this repo for fedora 37 ?
and the fan control repo that you wrote, does it have a UI, or do we have to do the process each time?
thank you so much for doing this!

Hi @Micheallscarn

I actually also have the Aorus 15P (KD)! I unfortunately can't help you with the Fedora installation, however, I do have some information regarding the fan control.
His project only features a very low-level interface to the controller but he thankfully implemented the hardest part of all: reverse-engineering the registers, data types, lengths etc.
If you want a high-level tool, checkout my AorusControl project. It currently allows you to monitor your fans in a TUI and select a mode, but I may add more in the future (including a GUI, if someone is interested..?). Please try it out and let me know if you have any improvement ideas!

Yep, sorry, I didn't make one till just now. Now, I pushed it + made a release. See the new Installation and Usage instructions in the README. Let me know if anything's unclear!

Also, feel free to open an issue there if you have any problems to avoid spamming this one with unrelated off-topic talk and to help users of my project.

Pinging @blmhemu, as he knows more about process of adding the keyboard driver, and could help for Fedora.

@Micheallscarn, there is not GUI for the fan control, however you could easily make a keyboard shortcut for setting different modes. With time permitting, I'll make an Applet for Cinnamon (maybe compatible with gnome to indicate the current mode fan. Do not hesitate writing any question in its respective repo.

@SIMULATAN, your project looks nice, looking forward to see more about it. Are you planning to add also the control for the key lights? If so, the reverse engineering for the keys is in here

P.S. As mentioned by @SIMULATAN, let's not continue spamming this issue that is about the keyboard driver for special keys.
