|
|
|
|
# fedora:
|
|
sudo dnf install kernel-devel kernel-headers
|
|

## Manual Install ##
|
|
|
|
sudo apt-get install mercurial build-essential linux-headers-generic
|
|
hg clone https://bitbucket.org/Swoogan/aziokbd
|
|
cd aziokbd
|
|
sudo ./install.sh
|
|
|
|
# Blacklisting #
|
|
|
|
**NOTE: install.sh attempts to blacklist the driver for you. You shouldn't need to do anything manually. These instructions are to explain the process, in the event something goes wrong.**
|
|
|
|
You need to blacklist the device from the generic USB hid driver in order for the aziokbd driver to control it.
|
|
|
|
## Kernel Module ##
|
|
If the USB hid driver is compiled as a kernel module you will need to create a quirks file and blacklist it there.
|
|
|
|
You can determine if the driver is a module by running the following:
|
|
|
|
lsmod | grep usbhid
|
|
|
|
If `grep` finds something, it means that the driver is a module.
|
|
|
|
Create a file called `/etc/modprobe.d/usbhid.conf` and add the following to it:
|
|
|
|
options usbhid quirks=0x0c45:0x7603:0x0004
|
|
|
|
If you find that the generic USB driver is still taking the device, try changing the `0x0004` to a `0x0007`.
|
|
|
|
## Compiled into Kernel ##
|
|
If the generic USB hid driver is compiled into the kernel, then the driver is not loaded as a module and setting the option via `modprobe` will not work. In this case you must pass the option to the driver via the grub boot loader.
|
|
|
|
Create a new file in `/etc/default/grub.d/`. For example, you might call it `aziokbd.conf`. (If your grub package doesn't have this directory, just modify the generic `/etc/default/grub` configuration file):
|
|
|
|
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT='usbhid.quirks=0x0c45:0x7603:0x4'
|
|
|
|
Then run `sudo update-grub` and reboot.
|
|
|
|
Again, if you find that `0x4` doesn't work, try `0x7`.
