Firstly thank you for this software

I also would like to have this work for the alienware 14

A couple of points which may help

I have done some work updating the list of computers in the supported list, 
refer to the attached file

I tested on Ubuntu 14.04

I needed to install the python appindicators package manually, it is not a 
dependency

When installing from the software Centre, installation hangs, waiting for a 
response.  Had to install using dpkg --install, then manually update the file

I had to start the daemon manually, and the indicator.  The indicator did not 
display.  However the terminal did show long and long messages indicating the 
daemon is running

After starting pyalienfx there is no on screen interface, and the software just 
seems to hang

Let me know if I can help further

Regards
