I saw another post here, that it is working on the same model. But it is not working at all here (Manjaro). The Neo 16 has these randomly blinking keys at startup and these remain blinking. But I have the same model
sudo dmidecode -s system-product-name
Predator PH16-71
and I have checked, that the directory exist
file /sys/bus/wmi/devices/7A4DDFE7-5B5D-40B4-8595-4408E0CC7F56/
/sys/bus/wmi/devices/7A4DDFE7-5B5D-40B4-8595-4408E0CC7F56/: directory
The acer_wmi module is unloaded and I have the facer module loaded:
facer 53248 0
platform_profile 12288 1 facer
i8042 57344 1 facer
sparse_keymap 12288 1 facer
rfkill 40960 10 iwlmvm,bluetooth,facer,cfg80211
video 81920 5 nvidia_wmi_ec_backlight,facer,xe,i915,nvidia_modeset
wmi 32768 4 video,nvidia_wmi_ec_backlight,wmi_bmof,facer
The character device is there:
ls /dev/acer*
/dev/acer-gkbbl-0 /dev/acer-gkbbl-static-0
But no matter, what I configure with keyboard.py or facer_rgb.py, I only have the randomly blinking keys.
