GPU

Nvidia

Is your keyboard RGB?

No (single color)

Additional context

Setup: NixOS 24.05, kernel 6.10.6, Nvidia driver 560.35.03

By default, FN keys work, including ESC and POWER LEDs.

By using MControlCenter I have the following extra functionalities:

Fan control and cooler boost
Battery threshold (50-60, 70-80, 90-100, and custom limit)

The following (relevant) thing does not work: F1/F5 LEDs (sound and mic).

With NixOS I cannot install normally the driver due to immutability, but I was able to load it in the configurations. However, when trying to load the driver as debug mode, the following errors emerge:

insmod /run/booted-system/kernel-modules/lib/modules/6.10.6/kernel/drivers/platform/x86/msi-ec.ko.xz debug=1
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'msi_ec': Operation not supported

Dmesg shows:

msi_ec: unknown parameter 'debug' ignored
msi_ec: Firmware version is not supported: '16S3EMS1.103'

Probably some older version is loaded on the kernel that does not have debug mode implemented.

Hi, yes, you need to unload in-kernel version first to load git one.

But this dumps should be enough.

glpnk commented 2 months ago

Your device is WMI1 based, so you can check other WMI1 configs and reuse them as new device config

Hi, thank you for the fast reply.

However, I cannot install the driver due to the following errors:

make[1]: Entering directory '/home/$USER/msi-ec'
make[1]: *** /lib/modules/6.10.6/build: No such file or directory. Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/$USER/msi-ec'
make: *** [Makefile:16: modules] Error 2

I could not find any kind of NixOS configuration that allowed me to install the latest version.

glpnk commented 2 months ago

You probably don't have kernel headers which used during module building.

I never used NixOS so I don't know how to help you. But in regular distros use DKMS, which backup default module and replace it with new one. Maybe Nix allow similar procedure or support DKMS.

Or you can manually build and replace module, which is violate nix idea, but may work
