Cannot change keyboard RGB backlight color/mode on ASUS TUF A17 (FA706IU)
Kernel version: 6.1.4-arch1-1
I've verified that asus-wmi supports changing the keyboard backlight color/mode using the following command:
echo <cmd> <mode> <red> <green> <blue> <speed> > "/sys/class/leds/asus::kbd_backlight/kbd_rgb_mode"
- red/green/blue range: 0-255
- speed range: 0-2
- cmd seems to accept any value
On this particular laptop, modes are:
- 0 - static
- 1 - "breathe" 1 color
- 2 - cycle through all colors
- 10 - pulse (does not seem to be affected by speed parameter)
Adding the following configuration to /etc/asusd/asusd-ledmodes.toml does not allow changing the keyboard RGB color/mode through rog-control-center.
[[led_data]]
prod_family = "ASUS TUF Gaming A17"
board_names = ["FA706IU"]
standard = ["Static", "Breathe", "Strobe", "Pulse"]
multizone = []
per_key = false
Instead, under the "Keyboard Aura" tab, this is all that shows up:
