Solved OpenRGB

Hi All,

I installed openrgb just a got mouse with lightshow on it, I couldn't find any information on setting it up and looked through the commands but lacking enough information on how to setup between a client/server communication for communication to the hardware so had to post it here while I'm trying to see I can keep digging to the bottom of the hole.

If anyone else uses this software I would appreciate if you can provide how it is setup.

Thank you.
 
From the official documentation:
On Linux, OpenRGB needs permission to access the hardware interfaces used for RGB control. These include USB and I2C interfaces. To make accessing these interfaces easier, OpenRGB provides a udev rules file that tells your operating system to allow your user account control over these hardware interfaces, allowing OpenRGB to run without root access while still controlling the hardware.

This will most likely be very similar on a FreeBSD system in that you'll have to setup devd(8) accordingly.
Have fun at that: https://openrgb.org/releases/release_0.9/60-openrgb.rules

Also, x11/openrgb seems to be slightly out of date.
 
I wouldn't bother trying to setup the hardware access yet if I can't even get the interface to work, base from I can observe this package ported to FreeBSD only has server/client configuration the standalone/GUI isn't available so I think I'll start by doing the server to client connection.
 
x11/openrgb appears to have Qt5 widgets as a dependency. That would be somewhat of an indicator that the GUI is available unless somebody did something goofy.
 
I figured out by default the command will use server mode to connect so had to specify manually not to auto connect, now the GUI interface shows up and I used the devfs rule to allow access to the usb devices which allow openrgb to configure the mouse.

Hello,
Сan you show an example of your rules for openrgb please? I want to configure RGB on my ASUS motherboard but it doesn’t work out yet. Devices are not detected in openrgb.
