At first, install `clevo-xsm-wmi-dkms`, then `clevo-xsm-wmi-util`
Patches for Clevo N950TP6 laptop and orange color support have been added.
----------------------
After you have installed `clevo-xsm-wmi-util`, do the following in your terminal:
Enable Clevo XSM WMI service:
```
sudo systemctl enable clevo-xsm-wmi.service
sudo systemctl start clevo-xsm-wmi.service
```
----------------------
If you are not rebooting your computer, do the following in your current session:
```
sudo modprobe clevo-xsm-wmi
```
----------------------
Launch the Clevo keyboard configuration utility with sudo or graphical sudo (kdesu, gksu etc.):
```
sudo /usr/bin/clevo-xsm-wmi
```
You need root rights to alter keyboard lightning!
----------------------
NOTE: At the moment of writing this, only changing keyboard colors & turning on/off the lightning works. I could not set any modes or alter keyboard brightness via the utility.
NOTE:
I am using KDE desktop environment. Therfore, I use kdesu command in my `clevo-xsm-wmi-util.desktop` file. If you use GTK or other desktop environment, change the sudo part of the Exec part to suit your needs. For example, I have
```
Exec=kdesu /usr/bin/clevo-xsm-wmi
```
