Add tuxedo-keyboard

[ruzko]

Describe the package

Tuxedo-keyboard adds drivers for keyboard backlight, fan control and other hardware enablements on Tuxedo Computers and other laptops using Clevo chassis.

Only available as dkms at the moment, although I have opened an issue about kmod availability

UPDATE: tuxedo-keyboard has been deprecated in favor of tuxedo-drivers.

What is the current status of this ticket? From what I see, there's been no update for over half a year. Is there any chance for tuxedo-drivers to be included in akmods?

Status is we need to just find someone with the time to implement this.

@castrojo I'd be happy to help with this, but other than copying and changing the build script, I'm not quite sure what kind environment I need to build and test my changes. Could you point me to some documentation that will help me set up things? I apologize for my noobness if there is something I missed. 😞

@Matombo @vinzv Maybe you could help, too?

Addendum: There are two unofficial Fedora COPR repositories providing relevant RPM packages:

• kallepm/tuxedo-drivers (Clevo/Tuxedo-specific out-of-tree kernel modules; requires dkms; project-specific discussion thread is found here)
• kallepm/tuxedo-control-center (Electron-based GUI app that allows to configure the additional functionality that the tuxedo-drivers kernel modules introduce (power profiles, battery charging threshold etc.))

Maybe those COPR repos could be of help when porting tuxedo-drivers to akmods.
