HP Omen special feature control for Linux
This is a version of the hp-wmi kernel module that implements some of the features of HP Omen Command Centre.
It's totally experimental right now, and could easily crash your machine.
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK
Currently working:
- FourZone keyboard colour control (
/sys/devices/platforms/hp-wmi/rgb-zones/zone0[0-3]) - Omen hotkeys
Installation
-
Install dkms and kernel headers if needed (already present on Ubuntu)
-
Run
sudo make install
Module will be built and installed, and DKMS will manage rebuilding it on kernel updates.
Usage
The module creates four files in /sys/devices/platform/hp-wmi/rgb_zones/ named zone00 - zone03.
To change zone highlight color, just print hex colour value in RGB format to the respective file. e.g:
sudo bash -c 'echo 00FFFF > /sys/devices/platform/hp-wmi/rgb_zones/zone00' to get sky-blue zone 0.
Omen and other hotkeys are bound to regular X11 keysyms, use your chosen desktop's hotkey manager to assign them to functions like any other key.
To do:
- FourZone brightness control
- Fan control
