## Installation

Installation works out of the box, but it is recommended to change SSD mode from `RAID` to `AHCI`.

## Keyboard backlight

Install awcc-gitAUR for keyboard backlight and performance control, all known modes and effects work, including setting custom fan boost.

## Game Shift Mode

It is recommended to set the power mode and fan speed boost by using awcc-gitAUR

Alternatively, first install acpi_call (or acpi_call-lts for LTS kernel, acpi_call-dkms for other kernels) and load the kernel module:

    # modprobe acpi_call

Turn on:

    # echo "\_SB.AMWW.WMAX 0 0x25 {1, 0x01, 0x00, 0x00}" > /proc/acpi/call
    # echo "\_SB.AMWW.WMAX 0 0x15 {1, 0xab, 0x00, 0x00}" > /proc/acpi/call

Turn off:

    # echo "\_SB.AMWW.WMAX 0 0x25 {1, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00}" > /proc/acpi/call
    # echo "\_SB.AMWW.WMAX 0 0x15 {1, 0xa0, 0x00, 0x00}" > /proc/acpi/call

## Accessibility

The appearance of the BIOS is pretty simple and not very colorful, so that it might work well with OCR software. The use of a mouse is not required.

## G-Mode and Light Keys

By default, you cannot bind/use G-Key and Light-Key, although if you want to bind them to their respective functions, you have to use awcc-gitAUR.
