tuxedo-keyboard VS howdy

I can't really confirm if it's the place to look at, but the tuxedo control center works in pair with their kernel module https://github.com/tuxedocomputers/tuxedo-keyboard

As the name wrongly imply, it is not just about controlling the keyboard. At least on my laptop (an aura15 gen 2), a whole chunk of the control center is not available when the module is not loaded. Not sure if it will help but you might want to look into this module as well for your investigation.

I also found an open source tool from a competitor Tuxedo Laptops which also resell Clevo models: https://github.com/tuxedocomputers/tuxedo-keyboard which maybe ill be able to use to confirm I am doing the right sorta thing.

This merge commit fixes the build issue on 6.2.

maybe this helps.

- tuxedo-keyboard -dkms from the AUR

you can even use facial recognition with IR webcam

I just bought a go 2 (not laptop go) this weekend and installed fedora 37 on it. Almost everything worked without the surface kernel except the camera requires v4l2loopback kernel drivers to create a gstreamer device for apps that don’t support libcamera. There were only old versions available in copr but no surface kernel headers available so I couldn’t build the kernel modules. I switched to ubuntu 22.10 and got similar hardware support but more available packages. I’m still trying to figure out how to get the IR sensors to work so I can use howdy for login/sudo. https://github.com/boltgolt/howdy

First, you'll need to install Howdy.

I've tried using Howdy, but that doesn't seem to work. It's probably because of this issue

Just like with digicams, it is not just about the sensor, but also the image processing itself. Should we omit the IR sensor to replace it with a better firmware-based noise-reduction system? But what about "Howdy" / "Hello" users, if we go this route?
