Hi there!

OS: Ubuntu 22.04.1
Kernel: 6.5.0-15-generic
Dual boot with Windows 11

I've issues with enabling my keyboard on my 2 in 1 ASUS.
On Windows everything works fine, on Linux only some function (Fn + key) keys work, rest of the keyboard is not working at all.

First I just ran the service and it did nothing, so I tried to debug it and saw the following:

flip(False) function is sending these events (1 iteration and exit):

[InputEvent(EV_KEY, KEY_PROG2, 1)]
[InputEvent(EV_KEY, KEY_PROG2, 0)]
[InputEvent(EV_SW, SW_TABLET_MODE, 0)]

On the other side, libinput debug-events receives following events:

$ sudo libinput debug-events

 event23  DEVICE_REMOVED          Asus WMI accel tablet mode        seat0 default group11 cap:kS

The driver is running with event23 and as you can see, no SW_TABLET_MODE visible...
I ran the driver not as a service but in shell (with sudo) after sudo libinput debug-events.

My goal at the moment is just to disable tablet mode (or switch into laptop mode) to be able to use my built in keyboard...

I would really appreciate any help, so let me know if you need more logs or any extra details.

Thank you in advance!

@Geras1mleo Hi,

On Windows everything works fine, on Linux only some function (Fn + key) keys work, rest of the keyboard is not working at all.

For Fn + keys with no kernel support yet try this driver (own configuration needed, I use it for fix microphone/camera LEDs and more)

I merged your #5, sorry for that.

@Geras1mleo IMHO you do not need this driver because your hw is Intel, it should work out-of-the-box, event should be sent by this device:

...
-event24  DEVICE_ADDED            Intel HID switches                seat0 default group9  cap:S

Atm I have again laptop with Intel UP5401EA and I see:

@Geras1mleo Try logging into Windows and do a flip to the tablet mode and back. I had problem once it was stuck somehow and this helped me.

@ldrahnik well, i tried with different distros (thought it was gnome's bug) such as arch and ubuntu, then with different kernels and nothing really changed... also blacklisted some intel modules as some people recommended, but still no result. My last attempt was to force send sw_tablet_mode to trigger something in kernel and begin accept events from the keyboard, but didn't work either...
The funniest is that everything works perfectly on Windows...

You are right! It is sending the event, and I thought it was the wrong one, but now I see that you get the same SWITCH_TOGGLE event... okey, seems like the issue lies somewhere else than...
Thank you!

Nice, so now you just need flip-lock driver to react properly to each state (disable / enable what is not handled by distro by default) https://github.com/asus-linux-drivers/asus-fliplock-driver ; )

Hope this will work, will try it tomorrow 🤞

Thank you for your drivers!
