Add support for Y740 #33

Open AlgoQ opened 3 years ago

PhracturedBlue commented 3 years ago

I have a Y740, but the keyboard light no longer works in Windows. It may be hardware, but I think it is more likely due to a failed driver install that we've been unable to recover. Since I don't know if the issue is hardware or software, I don't know if I can make much progress, but I can poke at it a bit. One thing @AlgoQ could do to help is to list the hidraw devices to see if they are even there. Something like this would help: sudo cat /sys/class/hidraw/hidraw*/device/uevent | egrep 'HID_(NAME|ID)'

Also the year your laptop was built and cpuinfo of your Y740 couldn't hurt. I am not sure if they've changed the hardware and kept the model names the same

@AlgoQ Thanks. Just to confirm, are you actually using an external Corsair mouse/keyboard? The ITE Tech device I was expecting to see, but was not expecting to see the K95 RGB Keyboard. I need to know if that is how Ubuntu is detecting your laptop keyboard, or if you have a separate keyboard attached.

No, I don't use an external keyboard, my mouse is from Corsair though. I think that is the wireless gaming dongle is just my mouse and K95 RGB Keyboard the internal keyboard.

Thanks, Unfortunately, I think this means I won't be able to help you right now. On my laptop, I see the ITE Device (8910) but not the K95 RGB. (My understanding is that the ITE Device is some sort of bridge to the underlying hardware). I believe this means that either the hardware or BIOS/Firmware are faulty on my laptop. Until I can get that corrected, there doesn't seem to be any way for me to do any testing/development of this driver.
