Adding new devices #72

Open ranjithshegde opened 4 years ago

On Arch linux

followed your instructions, tried both methods of manual install and via AUR, installed without any errors

I get the following error when I modprobe

modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'asus_fan': No such device

I have looked into IT87 modules and plenty other asus module son git

is there any chance you foresee adding support to the newer models?

As the ASUS ACPI stack seems to only change marginally I am pretty sure I will continue, once I again have a zenbook at my disposal. Waiting since beginning of the year to finally get the latest ryzens 4xxx within a zenbook. Not too much to hope from my side for short-term improvements/adaptations.

The best thing you could do is to reverse engineer as many details as possible and play around with the (acpi) tools as discussed in #44. This would be anyways the information which would be needed upfront. Together with a device, to test at least one of the module's (config)paths. Support wouldn't be that far away.

there is also afc-scout, which might also help you to investigate ACPI details.
