potentially worth mentioning too, i installed on KDE wayland. If switching to X11 service fails. But i'm not worried about that for now, and is not the issue ;) |
|
@zeroz41 Hm. I would try reboot after installation + switch to Windows in case you have dual boot whether it works there / enable, disable there and back. And try manually send activation i2c commands to each i2c with 0x15 address. Maybe first one found was not NumberPad. Also, post here dsdt table please: |
|
Hello thanks for response. With the driver active: Tried messing with 4 and 6 but they seemed to not be active not accept read write. I tried i2c 0x15 for 456, where 5 is the only one that accepted the command. Here's dsdt.dsl. its quite large. |
|
@zeroz41 Second activation is 60,61 (more in Readme) but it is implemented in the driver. |

@zeroz41 What is the output of |
@zeroz41 Unfortunatelly you have to reinstall driver each switch in case you use systemd service. |
|
@zeroz41 Ah, not NumberPad, dialpad doesn't work. Yeah, it will be necessary to listen communication on Windows. Do you have Windows? I am open to instruct you how. |
|
@ldrahnik roger on reinstall for swithing x11, no big deal. Also i do not have a windows partition. |
|
@zeroz41 On Linux try click on Dialpad while you run these commands: |
|
sure thing. Gere is some output from libinput debug-events. sudo libinput debug-events |
|
@zeroz41 So these events are send from Touchpad device but are associated to DialPad? Try |
|
@ldrahnik It seems I was misled and mistaken about the model I own and it only features ASUS dialpad. I wanted to scour the internet and youtube videos to confirm. I thought it featured both numberpad and dialpad when purchased. |
|
@zeroz41 This NumberPad driver adds NumberPad functionality with no hardware support except backlight leds. So Dialpad works out of the box? I am open to create new repository fór Dialpad driver if it does make sense. |

I will check functionality of dialpad without your driver installed soon. To be honest if you were to create a dialpad driver it looks like much of your numberpad code pretty much just works the same for the gestures and activation. Everything functioned for numpad as expected expect the numberpad actually being visible lol. From what i've looked at the dialpad basically acts as a rotary knob upon activation around the circle, which the gestures being clockwise or counter clockwise around the circle to use. While much more advanced on windows, i'd imagine some base functionality of hooking into volume controls or brightness. Found this btw. https://github.com/fredaime/openwheel |

@zeroz41 Ok, exist two variants DialPad and Asus Dials and you have DialPad thwt layes on touchpad. So basically associate shortcuts for currently opened app (somehow) with default shortcuts when is not opened any app would be ok? Of course only when is DialPad activated via top right corner. What about possivility to divide circle by half or to quaters? For configirable buttons in config? Top, left, bottkm, right virtual button I mean spot with specific default functiobality and specific functiobality for each app. Maybe for someone better option then knob? Have to this variant konfogurable for each state (default or specific app state). How it looks like when Is light up? Does work entire Touchpad?Is there defined grid like NumberPad has? Is not because intended usage is knob? Because I saw buttons in some official video in some Adobe produkt. So dividing by other number than backlighted grid has would be confusing? |

@zeroz41 I have created repository https://github.com/asus-linux-drivers/asus-dialpad-driver but I will not start until the idea is clear. |

Nice! @ldrahnik . I wouldn't want to answer incorrectly as I've not experienced actual usage of asus dialpad on Windows. So makes sense not to start anything now until things are more clear! And yes seems there is a more physical ASUS DIAL and a touchpad based one ASUS DIALPAD. If i get a windows iso and some time I'd be willing to test some things down the line. Currently have limited capped bandwidth related to where i am. |
Describe the bug
No backlight display lighting up numbers for Asus Dialpad.
No errors noticed in logs so far, installation passed. Rebooted machine.
Sorry didn't find an exact previous issue match and thought this could be appropriate.
What works:
What doesn't work:
No numberpad shows up when enabled. No light at all besides previously mentioned circle enablement LED.
btw same behavior whether or not external keyboard plugged it. Also no difference if enableing/disabling manually without systemd service.
Expected behavior
Relevant log output
no error.log exists or is populated in /var/log/asus-numberpad-driver/
