Is the Avell B.On Lite model supported? about avell-unofficial-control-center HOT 7 OPEN

Hi. I also have a B.On Lite and was having the same problem. I asked the avell suport center and they told me the keyboard is from Clevo (part number Z6-79-NL50MU0K-001-BE). Found the driver online and it now works for me, you can find the driver here and instructions to install it here.

If you are using Arch (like myself) just install from AUR (yay tuxedo-keyboard-dkms) and reboot

Well, I tryied here and it didn't work. When I run it ask for my password and then shows:

  File "/usr/bin/aucc", line 8, in <module>
    sys.exit(main())
  File "/usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/aucc/main.py", line 86, in main
    control = ControlCenter(vendor_id=0x048d, product_id=0xce00)

The driver repository says there are a few modes, but I didn't work for me. The driver also suports gradient keyboard colors, but that also didn't work. I think our keyboard allows only one color and doesn't support the modes described in the driver repository.
I'm happy enough that I can turn it off now 😝

You can try the driver settings using the files in /sys/devices/platform/tuxedo_keyboard/
For example echo 0xa0FF00 | sudo tee /sys/devices/platform/tuxedo_keyboard/color_left

@ToMattBan Are you using the Avell B.On Lite model? Are you able to list the device in your laptop?

from avell-unofficial-control-center.

@caiopetruccirosa Yup, B.On Lite. Also, the command sudo hwinfo --short shows me

keyboard:
  /dev/input/event3    AT Translated Set 2 keyboard

It didn't show "Integrated Technology Express ITE Device(8291)"

Thank you @cristovao-trevisan
I needed to install the linux-headers and then the tuxedo package (Using Arch here too) and after a rebbot, it's working. Even the shortcuts works well.

I just have a question, the colors were to change according to the screen or something like that? I'm incredible happy with it working, it's just a question haha
