A follow up to my earlier post about the leds-valve DKMS module, now it is usable within the latest experimental build of OpenRGB itself as long as that leds-valve module is loaded.

Support for the #Valve #SteamMachine under #Linux has been merged into #OpenRGB. This relies on the leds-valve kernel module that is included in the SteamOS kernel. A DKMS package is available to install this kernel module on #Arch and #Debian distros:

or AUR leds-valve-dkms-git

    Just curious (I don’t have a Steam Machine and don’t plan to get one), doesn’t Steam fight for control of the LEDs if you run both Steam and OpenRGB at the same time?

      From a very surface level look at the code it looks like the module disconnects the data coming from steam while OpenRGB is active. But i dont really do C so i might be totally off here.
