A collection of Linux drivers of various components for Gigabyte devices.
- All normal keys (alphanumerics and special character) working beforehand.
- Make the C code into actual driver and ppa support.
- Sleep, Mute, Volume Keys, Backlight [Fn + F1/F7/F8/F9/SPC] working even before this driver.
- Brightness keys [Fn + F3/F4] working with this driver.
- Make Fn + ESC/F2/F5/F10/F11/F12 work.
- Look into controlling fan profiles with [Fn + Esc]
- Look into the possibility of full keyboard RGB backlight support.

sudo apt update
sudo apt install opengigabyte-driver-dkms

- The keyboard driver converts the obscure key codes from the keyboard into standard keycodes. Handling the functionality of the keys is up to the user.
- For example, link the BrightnessUp / BrightnessDown keyboard symbol to light utility or xbacklight to control brightness using the keys.
