Dell G15 5530

Installation

Installation works out of the box, but it's recommended to change SSD mode from RAID to AHCI

Install awcc-git^AUR for keyboard backlight and performance control currently, all known modes and effects work, including setting custom fan boost.

It's recommended to set the power mode and fan speed boost by using awcc-git^AUR

Alternatively, first install acpi_call (or acpi_call-lts for LTS kernel, acpi_call-dkms for other kernels) and load the kernel module:

# modprobe acpi_call

Turn on:

# echo "\_SB.AMWW.WMAX 0 0x15 {1, 0xab, 0x00, 0x00}" > /proc/acpi/call
# echo "\_SB.AMWW.WMAX 0 0x25 {1, 0x01, 0x00, 0x00}" > /proc/acpi/call

Turn off:

# echo "\_SB.AMWW.WMAX 0 0x15 {1, 0xa0, 0x00, 0x00}" > /proc/acpi/call
# echo "\_SB.AMWW.WMAX 0 0x25 {1, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00}" > /proc/acpi/call

The appearance of the BIOS is pretty simple and not very colorful, so that it might work well with OCR software. The use of a mouse is not required.

By default, you can't bind/use G-Key and Light-Key, although if you want to bind them to their respective functions, you can use the script here[1]
