Hi Thiago, Im not good at solve those kind of problems but maybe is worthy a try. In the list of compatibility models your is marked with "???" so maybe could be some hardware issue. You have just to try to see if this procedure can make it work also for you. Run :

#!

[ios@ios ~]$ sudo dmidecode | grep Name
        Product Name: **P7xxDM3-(G)**                     
        Product Name: P7xxDM3 powered by premamod.com             
        Name: Firmware Version Info
        Name: $MEI

The first line with "Name" show what (bold) you have (your specific model) to add in the next part of the procedure. Here what i have used to make it work: https://bitbucket.org/tuxedocomputers/clevo-xsm-wmi/issues/33/p7xxdm3-g-clevo-p775dm3-model-support And here all the information i summed in my post for my case: https://bitbucket.org/tuxedocomputers/clevo-xsm-wmi/issues/20/sager-np8174-not-working Those drivers are working to the last kernel 4.15.15 . Of course I have to replicate the procedure every time i update my kernel. In my specific case the Arch module doesn't contain my specific model and the GUID modification. Good luck !

I am having the same problem with a Metabox P950HR (Clevo P950HR) running on Arch Linux. I tried to follow your instructions giostark but I didn't understand the part about copying the kernel module. I believe the problem is related to the fact that in the clevo-xsm-wmi.conf file where the compatible models are listed, the P950HQ6, HR and other variants are all combined together instead of separate models. Someone else has noticed this in this post https://bitbucket.org/tuxedocomputers/clevo-xsm-wmi/issues/25/no-support-for-p950hp6

"As I mentioned above using P95_HP,HR,HQ will not work and I see it's the being used in https://bitbucket.org/tuxedocomputers/clevo-xsm-wmi/commits/5701bc2

If you change to P95_HP it will work fine. Let me know if you want me to send a PR to testing."

It would be good if the developers would separate these into separate sections in the file. As it is I am unable to compile the tool myself (it seems like this is very ubuntu focused) so I and I believe many other users await a fix from the developers.

Hi Joel, I used to install the arch module because it configure its start-up with systemctl. So if I want remove/enable/disable the module pacman is a fast solution. But the arch module didnt work because my dmidecode Name is not listed in the clevo-xsm-wmi.c probed by the arch package. So , I used the arch pack for a clean installation but I substituted just the module with the module i compiled by hand that contain my dmi specific Name. As you can see in my case the module name is all character sensitive. If you dont put the exactly right name (parenthesis , dots ,ecc ecc) it will not work. Maybe the installer should be capable to retrieve by it self the right name.
