Sorry for the late reply mjtarch, I have a lot to do these times and I don't use my clevo laptop much.

The upstream project is abandonned as stated on the bitbucket page (https://bitbucket.org/tuxedocomputers/clevo-xsm-wmi -> https://bitbucket.org/tuxedocomputers/clevo-xsm-wmi/issues/44/the-status-and-the-future-of-tuxedo-clevo -> https://github.com/tuxedocomputers/tuxedo-keyboard).

If the replacement project don't support your hardware, you can still create a patch file for clevo-xsm-wmi.c using the diff command or git, then apply your patch as I did for P950ER in your modified PKGBUILD. Then you build the package using makepkg and install it with pacman -U.

I didn't have any feedbacks from users of the new modules, maybe is there no reason to continue this PKGBUILD?

Hello arisudesu, As this is a DKMS package, the module is built on each kernel update, so gcc is needed to compile it. I think assuming base-devel is installed on an AUR PKGBUILD should be relevant only in the makedepends context, not in the actual package dependencies (cf. the wiki about makedepends: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PKGBUILD#makedepends) otherwise anyone installing my package without using AUR could have a broken dependency. About your custom kernel compatibility issue, you are right, I pushed it with linux-headers only.

Maybe you should do some cleanup on dependencies: first, gcc and make (base-devel) are assumed to be installed, when using AUR, so they are not needed. The second, dependency on linux does not work well with custom kernels (e.g. linux-ck-haswell). Maybe depend only on linux-headers?
