Can confirm this error still happens when trying to build it. Running on NixOS, but this shouldn't matter.

[HollowMan6]

Should be fixed in PR #211

[zChris83]

It compiled with your changes. My next problem is:

[HollowMan6]

I didn't encounter a related error like yours on my side, but from the error logs, it looks like you didn't enable the kernel configuration option CONFIG_ACPI_PLATFORM_PROFILE, and I guess you will need to reconfigure and rebuild your kernel with CONFIG_ACPI_PLATFORM_PROFILE enabled.

[LarryTheMagicDragon]

[ 359.160110] facer: Unknown symbol platform_profile_register (err -2) [ 359.160242] facer: Unknown symbol platform_profile_notify (err -2) [ 359.160463] facer: Unknown symbol platform_profile_remove (err -2)

I recognize those errors try #202

[zChris83]

Its not a LTS kernel. uname -r gives 6.6.62-gentoo-dist. However i did a modprobe platform_profile and that seems to get rid of the error message when insmod facer. Although python keyboard.py doesnt affect the rgbs on the keyboard.

[yhanruzai]

So, it turns out a combination of building with @LarryTheMagicDragon build and changing the kernel from LTS to the latest made it somehow work.

Were you able to change the RGB on your keyboard for PH18-71 ?

[yhanruzai]

So update, it seems the fix depends on updating the kernel away from LTS, which causes my WM to flicker unless I use the stable nvidia drivers which needs to downgrade the kernel making the module to break again.

[LarryTheMagicDragon]

@yhanruzai I'm a little busy at the moment, but I have added fixing LTS support to my todo list.
