Hi Martin,

I have a couple questions to try and help figure out whats wrong. Did you use sudo to install the app? Also, what version(s) of python do you have installed?

from alienfx.

Can you let me know what modifications you made for the m13r3 as well?

from alienfx.

I'll do a PR with the changes I made

from alienfx.

and yes, I used sudo

These are the errors with the changes that you committed...

This project was given to me and I'm still pretty new to python. I'm still in the learning process myself. I'm still in the process of working out those warnings about deprecated parts of gtk.

from alienfx.

I'm also trying to figure out what is causing those errors.

Hi guys, Im facing the same issue. I too have an alienware 13r3 and am unable to find a fix to controlling the keyboard backlighting.
Did you manage to fix the issue?
Is there another working solution for this requirement?

from alienfx.

You can compare those zone codes with the ones in: https://github.com/trackmastersteve/alienfx/blob/master/alienfx/core/controller_m13xr3.py

Feel free to make the necessary changes and submit a pull request.
