Lafite III 15" (Clevo N151ZU) under Linux: compatibility and better fan control

Well, I just added keywords to the gitlab repo.

I found this gitlab project searching it for the Clevo chassis:

François Kneib / Clevo-N151ZU-fan-controller · GitLab

Better fan control for Clevo-N151ZU-based laptops. Makes it silent for office/video/surf use, adaptive fan rate for high cpu usage.

gitlab.com

Anyone wanting to use that, read the sensible warning provided that the software comes without warranty and is used at your own risk. However, it's out there for any users who wish to review it.

Any discussion of the software and issue reporting / tracking is probably best done via the mechanisms on gitlab for that, since detailed support of third party software isn't really something these forums are suitable for!

is the FAN behaviour better with EC 1.07.04 ?

Keyboard backlight: can be fixed
The solution to make the keyboard backlight can be found there (use the dkms install) (and there for wake-up after sleep).

Thanks for your tip about tuxedo-keyboard, batzkass. It also works for the 14" Lafite III laptop. See this post.
