Comments

Yeah another user is finding the G issue. Am working on it |
|
@jamtat have you made any additional tweaks/ installed additional drivers in order to make caps lock issue fix? even after i installed the latest version of these drivers, caps issue still appearing. |
|
By installing the latest version is directly from github or via package? |
|
@terrycain via package. |
|
Ahh yeah pretty sure I have a fix for that unreleased |
|
@terrycain are you planning on releasing one if yes then when? |
|
Soon 😉 Am working on releasing another razer blade so should come out with that |
|
I got some merge conflict fun first |
|
will be waiting on that, thanks! |
|
@stealthowner I use this |
|
Install latest package, see what that's like. |
|
@terrycain latest package didn't help, do you need anything to help you fix it? |
|
Have to ask, did you install and reboot? And anything useful in |
|
@terrycain I'm running fedora 25 on the Razer Blade Stealth Late 2016 and I've installed the latest package via the repo you setup. Below is my log of what took place up to the point of hitting CapsLock |
|
@kickthedragon you able to join the telegram group to debug this? |
|
Just sent you a message, you can go ahead and add me to the group. |
|
@jamtat @stealthowner With or without the razer stuff theres still the caps lock issues right? |
|
I did not have it when I installed the latest drivers at the time of my
original post. I havent checked with latest drivers since

Wicked thanks. |
|
I can confirm CapsLock crashing the entire system happens regardless of whether these drivers are installed on both Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and Fedora 25 |
|
@kickthedragon i can confirm the same issues on ubuntu 16.04 lts |
|
Guys does this stop it |
|
@terrycain yes it does but it is not a long term solution |
|
No its not, @stealthowner /anyone, you reckon you could enable coredumps and get me a core dump of it crashing, I'd love to help out but I dont really have time to walk people through core-dumping |
|
I don't think this is an issue with these drivers, but with Intel's i915 drm subsystem; I can reproduce without these drivers even installed. I can work around by adding the kernel command line |
|
@nickdesaulniers any chance for detailed explanation on how you solved the caps issue? EDIT: as you can see by the 'edit' i have managed to fix the issue. Thank you for passing on the solution! |
|
Its been confirmed its an intel bug. Feel free to chat about it here but am closing the issue to avoid any confusion. If you guys come up with some good instructions, raise an issue to add it to the wiki, add it yourself if it allows you. |

Hello there! I've had a couple of fascinating issues with this brand new laptop in the last couple of days. Initially I found that pressing the caps lock key twice crashes the laptop causing the screen to glitch and tear and can only be fixed by a hard reset. I updated to the latest version of your drivers today which fixed that issue (marvellous!) however now when I press the left fn key it types "g" and the right fn key types "h". Running
xevconfirms that those keycodes are indeed being sent. fn+F4 also sends a "p" key. Uninstalling the drivers fixes typing the characters with fn keys but brings back the caps lock crashing issue. I'm a developer myself but have never strayed into driver development, but if there's any information I can send you to help or anything I can contribute please let me know!Thanks!
