I had some "fun" recently when I realized that my keyboard on my main
|
|
laptop was lagging. Nearly every character at the end of a command or
|
|
at the beginning of a typing sequence were lost. I didn't noticed when
|
|
this exactly took over, but I started to hate this behaviour.
|
|
|
|
So I thought it might be a good idea to install the drivers from where
|
|
I bought the laptop in the first place.
|
|
|
|
## Fedora 37
|
|
|
|
Now it's already a few months ago since I made my notes about this,
|
|
I'm already running Manjaro Linux for a week or two so I'll just
|
|
format my notes a bit and let this reside on this page, for later use
|
|
I might have to re-investigate that sh** again...
|
|
|
|
~~~console
|
|
$ sudo dnf install kernel-devel
|
|
$ sudo dnf copr enable kallepm/tuxedo-keyboard
|
|
$ sudo dnf copr enable kallepm/tuxedo-control-center
|
|
$ sudo dnf install tuxedo-control-center
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
Since I usually won't need the Control-Center, and to only get actual
|
|
(as in up-to-date) drivers, clone the git repository.
|
|
|
|
~~~console
|
|
$ cd $HOME/git
|
|
$ git clone https://github.com/tuxedocomputers/tuxedo-keyboard.git
|
|
$ cd tuxedo-keyboard
|
|
$ git checkout release
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
Then build the module and ignore any error about vmlinux being
|
|
unavailable:
|
|
|
|
~~~console
|
|
$ make clean && make
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
Add the module as DKMS module:
|
|
|
|
~~~console
|
|
$ make clean
|
|
$ sudo make dkmsinstall
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
And finally load the modules with modprobe:
|
|
|
|
~~~console
|
|
$ sudo modprobe tuxedo_keyboard
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
`tuxedo_io` should normally be automatically loaded when you load
|
|
`tuxedo_keyboard`.

|
|
## Manjaro (Sway)
|
|
|
|
Check what kernel version is running (`uname -a`)
|
|
and install the linux headers for that kernel.
|
|
|
|
~~~console
|
|
$ sudo pacman -S linux515-headers
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
Install `tuxedo-keyboard-dkms` from the wonderful AUR repository.
|
|
|
|
~~~console
|
|
$ sudo pacman -S tuxedo-keyboard-dkms
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
or if you use yay
|
|
|
|
~~~console
|
|
$ yay tuxedo-keyboard-dkms
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
Default values are crap (on my Polaris).
|
|
|
|
~~~console
|
|
$ echo "options tuxedo_keyboard color=WHITE" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/tuxedo_keyboard.conf
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
You may read on the tuxedo website that you load other colors
|
|
with `sudo modprobe tuxedo_keyboard color=BLUE` for example---
|
|
for me, this never worked. A reboot it is then for me.
|
|
|
|
They work on it, they say... But we know, this feature will never
|
|
be implemented. That state is now for 2 years since I bought that
|
|
"linux laptop" from Tuxedo. PS: I'd never buy one again.
