5 years ago Hi @samuaz thanks for reporting this.
Before taking a deep look to the problem, have you downloaded and installed the last version of akbl and tested your problems?
I noticed that you still using alienware-kbl as command and I made a ton of updates since then.

5 years ago yes, im do a git clone of stable branch and after that sudo ./setup
130 samuel@m14xr2 ~/alienware/akbl (git)-[stable] % akbl --version :( 2018.11.01
thats the output of version

5 years ago @hi samuaz thanks for your feedback.
Concerning the blocks, I noticed that they were all good in the configuration file. The only difference that I saw is that you probably did not noticed that the block 128 is for the alienware logo that it is behind the computer.
That said, I see that most of your problems involve the power button/power button eyes. That button is kinda problematic actually the whole power button have never really worked (neither on pyalien-fx).
If the power button eyes are being so problematic, I'll deactivate it so the rest works fine. You can see the configuration file here.
Concerning your windows questions, I don't really think so. It may be the fact that the software has evolved a lot and maybe it had an impact, or just the fact that the power button eyes are really doing something wrong.
Currently I'm working in big improvements concerning the code architecture & the documentation so more people can easily contribute.
Maybe it will create some bugs, but after that I'm pretty sure that me or the community will be able to hack and reverse engineer the last parts of the software that we need for a 100% stable and working.
If you have other comments/problems don't hesitate to post them.

5 years ago @samuaz when I was going to deactivate the power button eyes, I realized that the computer name was wrong and it was a M14XR1. Its possible that it was causing the bug and that you were using the M14XR1 instead.
Can you give me a feedback with the new version? And in case you still have problems, it would be nice if you can remove the block power button eyes from the configuration file and give me a feedback, like that I'll be sure of the modification for the other users.

5 years ago Also verify under GUI > Help > Computer Data that you're using the M14XR2 and not the R1~

5 years ago i just clone the lasted version and yes, akbl is saying that my machine is r1 instead of r2: so akbl is detecting r1 but my machine is r2

5 years ago i try with java program called alienfx-lite and its working good. its detect my machine as m14xr2

5 years ago @samuaz the problem is happening because your device data do not has the word "Gaming" which was the difference between the R1 and the R2. I ignore why you don't have it any more but it is causing the problem.
As a short fix until I develop a "computer model selector feature", after installing akbl, you can delete the M14XR1 profile so the only one available for you be the R2.
The profiles are located at /usr/share/AKBL/computers/.
Let me know if that solved your problems, -rsm

5 years ago i try that but if i delete the m14xr1.ini akbl application and service fails to start.
mmm i do is change my bios to only uefi and reinstall archlabs with systemd-boot maybe that make the problem with the device data
i do:
root@m14xr2 /home/samuel # dmidecode | grep -A3 '^System Information' System Information Manufacturer: Alienware Product Name: M14xR2 Version: A13
where they should have the gaming word?

5 years ago I just removed the M14XR2 hack. Deleting the M14Xr1 profile should now work!

Bug description
some zones are like bad mapping for example the color of the power button eyes are apply to the alienware logo.
other settings like keep media lights on are not working
also there is a some problem with the right keyboard zone, if i set the color of the power button eyes, also apply a second color to the keyboard if you have red in the right keyboard zone and apply yellow to the powerbutton eyes... you get a orange right keyboard zone.
