5 years ago Hi @tuxkernel
The only thing I can tell you to help is that you can play with the block testing window to see if you find a correct way of setting the fixed mode.
Also I do not advice to use the power button eyes zone since it seems to be kinda buggy.
If you have more questions or if you make some improvement don't hesitate to write a response.

OK. I'll be playing with block testing at the morning. I promise you to send my improvements soon. Thanks!

I think M11R1.ini is not the same R2. I've been playing with block-testing and I've discovered that the GUI needs Power Button Eyes entry. In R2, Power Button is 8192 and Power Button Eyes is 16384.
If you need more information about R2, don't doubt to ask me. M11XR2.txt

I committed the M11XR2.ini but you will notice that the power button eyes block is commented. As you can read at the top of this thread, the eyes are buggy and I deactivated them for all the computers.
Also, the M11XR1 config is in conflict with the R2, so you will have to use this hack after the installation: "Model selector feature" for computers with common vendor id and product id #51

Just don't forget create a new entry for Power Button Eyes in the GUI for M11X R2. I hope, in the future (not so far) you can fix the bug. After all, the severity of that bug is low. Keep calm! If someday comes to México, I promise you some beers :-)' Again, thanks for develop akbl.

5 years ago @tuxkernel The zone exist but it is deactivated. You can un-comment it from the M11XR2 file but it will probably bug the lights of your computer.
Y por la cerveza, con gusto. Soy del D.F. pero vivo en Francia. Si algún día ando en Puebla te aviso ;)

Eso ví checando el código. En aras de contribuir al proyecto, estoy checando el código de alienfx y otros proyectos que hay por ahí, para ver si podemos resolver el tema de los ojos y el encendido que no se quedan estáticos. Todo lo demás funciona a la perfección. Si logro encontrar algo, prometo enviarte los cambios. Recibe mis saludos...

5 years ago @adamcarriere @tuxkernel that's a known bug, and no, changing the DATA_LENGTH won't fix the problem.
The "Power Button" and "Power Button Eyes" areas are kinda problematic and they have never totally worked.
In some cases using this areas event affect other blocks like the touch pad or the left keyboard zone.
This is post is not to report that those areas have problems on X and X computers, but to report any improvement or research concerning the issue!
I hope this can be fixed soon.
-- EDIT 18.11.24
I deactivated the power button eyes from all the configurations since they also seem to turn the middle left keyboard zone.
