If you right click on the server name and then go to "Settings" -> "Composition & Addressing" and then uncheck "Compose messages in HTML format" I think that should do the trick. > Am 30.01.24 um 18:10 schrieb Hans de Goede: >> Hi Werner, >> >> On 1/30/24 12:12, Werner Sembach wrote: >>> Hi Hans, >>> >>> Am 29.01.24 um 14:24 schrieb Hans de Goede: > <snip> >>> I think that are mostly external keyboards, so in theory a possible cut could also between built-in and external devices. >> IMHO it would be better to limit /dev/rgbledstring use to only >> cases where direct userspace control is not possible and thus >> have the cut be based on whether direct userspace control >> (e.g. /dev/hidraw access) is possible or not. > > Ack > > <snip> > >>> So also no basic driver? Or still the concept from before with a basic 1 zone only driver via leds subsystem to have something working, but it is unregistered by userspace, if open rgb wants to take over for fine granular support? >> Ah good point, no I think that a basic driver just for kbd backlight >> brightness support which works with the standard desktop environment >> controls for this makes sense. >> >> Combined with some mechanism for e.g. openrgb to fully take over >> control as discussed.

I would include it in a full api proposal. Ack. > On this note: Any particular reason you suggested an ioctl interface instead of a sysfs one? (Open question as, for example, I have no idea what performance implications both have) sysfs APIs typically have a one file per setting approach, so for effects with speed and multiple-color settings you would need a whole bunch of different files and then you would either need to immediately apply every setting, needing multiple writes to the hw for a single effect update, or have some sort of "commit" sysfs attribute. With ioctls you can simply provide all the settings in one call, which is why I suggested using ioctls. Regards, Hans
