Please add support for Predator Helios 18 (2024) #209
Comments

@IBJamon I have done research on your model, and from what I can tell it uses per key RGB. The implementation we have support for only supports 4 zones of RGB, not per key RGB. Personally speaking I'm not sure I'll be able to add any kind of RGB for your model. I will do what I can to add support for your model where I can. I'm currently reading up on kernel programming so I can support this project better. I'll do as much as I can to help you. can you run "sudo libinput debug-events" and tell me if anything shows up in the output when you press your turbo key? |

Unfortunately, neither the turbo button or the fancy 'Predator' button
seem to trigger any events.

I'm not sure I'll be able to help in the next few days, but I do intend to help when I can. Do you have an email I can contact for this issue, or should I just respond to this thread? |
|
Either is fine. Github is sending emails, so for me it's literally both :) but if you need my email let me know and I'll share it. |
|
Thank you. I'll be looking into what can be done to add support for your model |
|
Thanks! I may not be a very good programmer, but I'm a sysadmin, so whatever you need let me know :) |
Model:
sudo dmidecode | grep "Product Name" -B 2 -A 4System Information
Manufacturer: Acer
Product Name: Predator PH18-72
Version: V1.10
Serial Number: NHQP4AA00141012E017600
UUID: f36ef422-4927-3649-a89c-74d4dd4b3d58
Wake-up Type: Power Switch
Base Board Information
Manufacturer: RPL
Product Name: IONIQ_RTX
Version: V1.10
Serial Number: NBQP41100241012E017600
Asset Tag: Type2 - Board Asset Tag
Features:
Count of keyboard RGB zones: 0
I'm not sure, but I believe it's the same as the PH18-71
Count of Cpu Fans: 1
Count of Gpu Fans: 1
RGB keyboard works? No
Turbo button turn on fans? No
Turbo button turn on LED? No
Turbo button activates overclock? No
Nothing happens for any of the above. I tested with https://github.com/LarryTheMagicDragon/acer-predator-turbo-and-rgb-keyboard-linux-module.git fork because main does not yet support Arch's 6.12 kernels.
Please feel free to reach out of you need anything else! My wife and I are both Linux users, so I would be happy to test anything you need. I hope we can enable power boost overclock - that would be awesome, since Nvidia drivers don't allow this currently.
