Does anyone know why ddcci doesn't load properaly? Output to dmesg

[ 4.152434] ddcci: loading out-of-tree module taints kernel. [ 4.152465] ddcci: module verification failed: signature and/or required key missing - tainting kernel

@ewout I still get the same error/error log (linux-zen version is 6.1.8)

EDIT: nevermind, I just had to forcefully remove $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/paru/clone/ddcci-driver-linux-dkms

@ewout One quote from Christoph Grenz (the developer): "It seems like the kernel developers want to deprecate the backlight devices in sysfs in the long term and instead provide another API where it is easier to match which backlight controls which display."

So, maybe the author just waits for the certainty.

Upstream seems unmaintained, may needs to be forked in the future.

@tukusejssirs @Porous3247 Should build again on kernel 6.1+

The package ddcci-driver-linux-dkms was disowned by surefire.

Is there anyone who is able and want to maintain this package? Thanks!

The package ddcci-driver-linux-dkms was adopted by ewout.

Thanks, @ewout, for such prompt reaction! ;)

Does anyone know how I can resolve this error that occurs in post installation hooks after installing linux-zen-headers
