Getting this support in place is nearly 600 lines of code to the ASUS-WMI driver.

To user-space this can then be manipulated via the hwmon sysfs. Queued this past week into the x86 platform drivers 'for-next' branch is the custom fan curve support.įor newer ASUS ROG laptops the CPU and GPU can curves can be set via ACPI methods. That is the latest work now on the way for the Linux 5.17 cycle. In recent months Luke has been working on custom CPU/GPU fan curve support under Linux, similar to what is allowed under Windows. Much of this work has come thanks to Linux kernel developer Luke Jones.

There has been dGPU toggling, panel overdrive, platform profile support, and more. The ASUS-WMI driver has seen a great deal of work recently in the Linux kernel for improving the device support particularly with the higher-end ASUS laptops. The Linux kernel continues to see improvements around ASUS laptop support on Linux, but the contributions have not been coming directly from the company but rather the community and sometimes after reverse-engineering.
