RGB support on PT516-51s #276

@mycelialinn

Description

@mycelialinn
Feature Value
Model Predator PT516-51s
Number of CPU Fans 1
Number of GPU Fans 2
Number of RGB Zones 3
RGB keyboard works? No
Turbo button turns on fans? No
Turbo button turn on LED? Yes
Turbo button activates overclock? I don't know how to check this
Distribution Specific Information Gentoo
Kernel Version 6.18.5-gentoo-dist (See Notes)

If the turbo button is not working, what is the output of the command below when you press the turbo key?
The provided command does nothing on my PC, and I cannot find an equivalent.

ISSUE:
RGB commands (keyboard.py, facer_rgb.py, and the RGB_Config_acer-gkbbl-0_v0.5.1 GUI) do not change color or zone brightness, but they can change whole keyboard brightness.

NOTES
Kernel has upgraded since original post.
I also made a few changes to the scripts for compatibility.
The folder described for RGB support is named almost identically to mine, except it has an "-8" at the end of its name for some reason.
I added 516-51s to facer.c for compatibility, assuming it likely has the same quirks as 516-52s, the number of fans match.
I have tried with and without acer-wmi (and acer_wmi) in the modules-load.d, little to no difference to my knowledge. Will test more.
