Not working on GX501, different PID 0b05:1837
ekawahyu opened this issue · 8 comments
I found the PID from executing lsusb. When executing rogauracore, it says: Could not find ROG Aura Core keyboard.
Does the tool work when you whitelist that value? A lot of these ASUS keyboards use completely distinct protocols for the same tasks.
how to put it into the whitelist? as in with udev?
No, the ASUS_PRODUCT_IDS list, here. Your vendor ID is correct, but you need to add the product ID (0x1837) to that list.
Added to the list, no more error, but nothing happens. It maybe doing something but I don't seem to be able to control the brightness. Specific model of my machine is GX501VIK.

Too bad, my machine is not even listed here: https://www.asus.com/us/support/FAQ/1036506/
Hello,
I had the same problem, then I added the PID and the error disappeared, but the command didn't cause any change to the backlight that stayed off. However, if I first boot in Windows and then I restart (without shutdown) the PC in Ubuntu, then everything works fine. I had a look in the BIOS if I could enable the keyboard backlight at sturtup, but I didn't find anything.
Any suggestions?
Cheers
Alessandro

@JoshDreamland sorry, I had missed that thread. I changed the source code as suggested and now everything is fine. Thank you for your help!
