I am writing a linux driver for LightFx, need help!
Hello every body!
I do not expect to get any kind of support from Dell regarding a linux version of the LightFx SDK and/or drivers. So I decided to write it :-)
I am looking for information regarding specs of the LightFx to ease my work. Otherwise I'll have to reverse engineer it and that takes quite a lot of time ;-)
Anyone have anything to help me?

I also want LightFx on my Linux!
I suppose LED are controlled like another mother board port.So I thought I could test many addresses 0x**** with value=1 in order to Switch On the LEDs. I will test that this week end.
But is it dangerous for my laptop?
I try to launch Dell QuickSet in VMWare or Wine but, the install fails due to unrecognition of the hardware.
you can e-mail me à julien.smadja [at] gmail [dot] com
