The Tuxedo Control Center is an open source utility developed by TUXEDO Computers to provide a GUI interface for managing thermal and power settings on TUXEDO laptops. | |||

As of today, the Tuxedo Control Center is unfortunately not available in Nixpkgs, making it impossible to install it right away. | As of today, the Tuxedo Control Center is unfortunately not available in Nixpkgs, making it impossible to install it right away. | ||

The keyboard installed on some TUXEDO Laptops has a variable color backlight that, once a specific Kernel module is inserted, can be controlled via the TCC (since version 3.2.0 of the module) or via some Kernel commandline parameters (up to version 3.1.4 of the module). | |||
The keyboard | The tuxedo-keyboard module is currently present on Nixpkgs and can easily be enabled by adding the <source lang="nix" enclose="none">hardware.tuxedo-keyboard.enable = true;</source> option to your NixOS configuration. If you are on version 3.2.0 (or later) this one will be the only change that you'll need to do in the configuration, as the backlight control will then be available directly from "Tools" > "Keyboard Backlight" in the Tuxedo Control Center (see above if you haven't installed it yet). | ||

If you installed tuxedo-keyboard 3.1.4 (or older), however, you'll have to add the <source enclose="none">tuxedo_keyboard</source> options to the Kernel commandline by using the <source lang="nix" enclose="none">boot.kernelParams;</source> config key as in the example below: | |||
