Getting "No Such Device" Error on FX506LH about faustus HOT 11 CLOSED

Did you disable the original modules? You have to do this like it says in the readme:
Create file /etc/modprobe.d/faustus.conf with following contents
blacklist asus_wmi
blacklist asus_nb_wmi

Make sure to reboot after you make that file for it to take effect.

Also looking at the commands you ran, you didn't do what it says in the readme either...

You have to do:
make
sudo modprobe sparse-keymap wmi video
sudo insmod src/faustus.ko

Please follow the directions in the readme.

Yes, I tried exactly as mentioned in the Readme, I'm getting the same errors. As I mentioned, "sudo modprobe sparse-keymap wmi video" gives error in dmesg

Are you using a custom kernel? What distro are you on?

Yes, I have (linux-modules-extra-5.4.0-42-generic)

you can try insmod with the let_it_burn parameter, but no such device means that the hardware device that the driver is looking for does not exist. let_it_burn=1 will bypass the hardware DMI check. I have a FX566IH (bios version 309) and I also am getting the same error without let_it_burn. If I bypass the DMI check, only the features in the mainline kernel (from asus_nb_wmi) work, so only changing brightness of the keyboard leds but not color. Clearly this kernel module needs a patch for the newer ASUS Tuf versions (FX506xx/FX566xx).

You could try this fork: https://github.com/rublag/faustus

It added support for some more models that this project doesn't yet support. No guarantees it will work for your models though, but worth a shot to try it.

Upon further searching, https://github.com/tromoto/faustus works without a manual DMI check override for me, although I got faustus: Failed to set throttle thermal policy (retval): 0x1 in dmesg. Any idea what this could mean?

The modprobe syntax was wrong, I've corrected it in README, and added a section about "No such device" error.
