Description

Backlit keyboards on specific Clevo laptop models gain Linux control through a reverse-engineered WMI driver. It is useful when the default kernel does not expose the needed keyboard-light controls.

Kernel drivers can affect boot, input hardware, and system stability. Install only for supported Clevo models, keep a fallback kernel available, and be ready to remove the module if hardware behavior worsens.
