What steps will reproduce the problem?

Hi, I'm new to linux. I have the TactX Alienware keyboard. KG900 
"
sudo lsusb | grep -i alien
Bus 004 Device 002: ID 187c:0517 Alienware Corporation 
Bus 004 Device 003: ID 187c:0516 Alienware Corporation 
"

when I run the script I get the following output.

sudo python pyAlienFX.py
Initializing Driver  ...
Comnputer M11XR25 found ! Loading the parameters ...
Initializing Controller ...
Loading : ./Profiles/Default.cfg
SPEED =  65280
Initializing Interface ...
pyAlienFX.py:123: GtkWarning: Can't pass in construct-only parameters to 
cancel_button
  self.gtk_AlienFX_Main.add_from_file('./glade/AlienFXMain.glade')
pyAlienFX.py:123: GtkWarning: Can't pass in construct-only parameters to 
ok_button
  self.gtk_AlienFX_Main.add_from_file('./glade/AlienFXMain.glade')

GUI LOADED AT THIS POINT, buttons dont do anything. if I click keyboard > color 
Green  preview, term out put is :
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "pyAlienFX.py", line 937, in on_Apply_pressed
    self.Set_Conf()
  File "pyAlienFX.py", line 710, in Set_Conf
    self.controller.Write_Conf()
  File "pyAlienFX.py", line 1224, in Write_Conf
    self.Send_Packet()
  File "pyAlienFX.py", line 1260, in Send_Packet
    resp = self.getResults()
  File "pyAlienFX.py", line 1194, in getResults
    data = self.sock.recv(self.BUFSIZE)
socket.error: [Errno 104] Connection reset by peer

Feel free to contact me to test, debug. I've just switched to Linux but I'm 
keen to assist and get this working. dead_bryan [ AT ] @hotmail.com

I believe pyAlienFX is more geared towards Alienware *laptops* and not just 
specific keyboards themselves. It currently only supports Alienware laptops 
with built in LED keyboards.

True but it might be interesting to see if you can sniff USB packets and print 
them here ! 

It might give us an idea of how the keyboard works ! 
If it's the same as the laptop you can create a conf Class for your keyboard, 
otherwise you'll have to rewrite a driver after understanding the protocol !

appologies I should have noticed your reply sooner. How would one get the 
required usb output? I've moved to linux mint now, I've since tried the script 
again with no luck but I've become a little more proficient with linux recently 
since I ditched windows.
