Description
Hi @teackot @jwrdegoede
It seems that the msi-ec is being updated in the kernel. More specifically adding Cooler Boost feature:
https://www.phoronix.com/news/MSI-EC-Linux-Cooler-Boost https://lore.kernel.org/platform-driver-x86/[email protected]/#r
Will that conflict in some way with this repo?
Edit: sorry but I didn't want to label this as a Bug :| just want to make people aware of this project and those who want to contribute directly to the kernel. In other words, bringing the people together I think :)
On my notebook with linux65 kernel (MSI GP76 11800h) the cooler boost enable/disable key combination Fn+F8 already worked w/o using msi-ec module. If it's not from the kernel then this must be from uefi-bios already, correct ? The corresponding ec bit in 0x98 is standard. #85 Sorry if I mention this without being asked.
Hi!
@rottenpants466, the github and the kernel drivers do conflict, but if you install the driver with DKMS (i.e. make dkms-install) the github driver will be prioritized. It is tracked in #71.

Thanks, I really apreciate it!
@f2g3t7, I beleive key combinations like that are controlled by the hardware, just like the keyboard backlight key and the webcam key on my laptop. That means they don't need any drivers to work

I'm feeling stupid right now... I thought that Nikita Kravets was someone else but in fact it is you :|
