I'm running a linux disro (Arch), and I'm having an issue restarting my keyboard backlight. The laptop went to sleep and it froze when waking up and had to be shutdown. The keyboard backlight has been off since. The kdb_backlight directory is missing in /sys/class/leds as well, and I currently have tickets open in NewbieCorner for this issue https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1874499#p1874499 and in openrazer's github for not being able to start polychromatic https://github.com/openrazer/openrazer/issues/953 Does anyone have any ideas? Can I just redownload the kbd_backlight directory somewhere? Can openrazer and polychromatic fix this? Can I fix it from the command line?

This fixed it. https://github.com/openrazer/openrazer/ … ard-driver Razer doesn't have the kbd_backight layout other keyboards have. This should probably be noted in the wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Razer_Blade [CODE]ls /sys/bus/hid/drivers/razerkbd/<version containing device_type, matrix files, etc> echo -n "2" > matrix-effect-spectrum cat matrix_brightness 0 # verifies led is turned off echo -n "255" > matrix_brightness[/CODE]
