Clevo Laptop problem

[Rogério Paludo]

Hi,

I have a rebranded Clevo laptop that I don't know the model. I'm running Arch Linux. I'd like to have some control over my keyboard backlight, especially brightness. I've installed your firmware, but it didn't work.

I'd like to know if you can help me figure out if my model is somehow supported.

Here's my dmesg:

[    2.088194] clevo_xsm_wmi: loading out-of-tree module taints kernel.
[    2.094116] input: Clevo Airplane-Mode Hotkey as /devices/platform/clevo_xsm_wmi/input/input5
[    2.094165] clevo_xsm_wmi: Polling thread started (PID: 244), polling at 5 Hz
[    2.095737] clevo_xsm_wmi clevo_xsm_wmi: hwmon_device_register() is deprecated. Please convert the driver to use hwmon_device_register_with_info().

I've attached the dmi information. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Regards.

I discovered that my laptop model is supported. I'm stuck on the issue #19 now.

Hi Rogerio,

i have testing the current testing branch on a N850HJ. I get the same massage in dmesg "hwmon_device_register() is deprecated. Please convert the driver to use hwmon_device_register_with_info()" but the module works fine with the device. We modifiy this call in the next time.

We have added the support for the Clevo P65xHP with the commit e30ebc5. Can you test the new version of the wmi?

Greeting Chris

I got the same problem and I googled it but there is no solution at all. My device was supported, too. Now I'm getting confused don't know what to do next.

Clevo model P775DM3(-G) is supported. On Arch I have the same problem too: $ dmesg | grep clevo [ 3.184798] clevo_xsm_wmi: loading out-of-tree module taints kernel. [ 3.188027] input: Clevo Airplane-Mode Hotkey as /devices/platform/clevo_xsm_wmi/input/input7 [ 3.188053] clevo_xsm_wmi: Polling thread started (PID: 238), polling at 5 Hz [ 3.189100] clevo_xsm_wmi clevo_xsm_wmi: hwmon_device_register() is deprecated. Please convert the driver to use hwmon_device_register_with_info().
