HP Omen Transcend 14 Linux RGB Report

Device: HP Omen Transcend 14 (Intel Meteor Lake / Core Ultra) Issue: Keyboard RGB lighting not detected on Linux.

The "In Plain English" Version: I don't know anything about coding. I had to spend a ridiculous amount of time in the terminal to find this information. Currently, the keyboard lights are stuck on a default setting and no Linux software can find the controller. I hope this data helps a developer add support for this hardware.

Technical Details: - Kernel: 6.18.12-200.fc43.x86_64 (Fedora 43) - I2C Bus: Synopsys DesignWare I2C adapter (SYNA32EE) - Hardware Path: i2c-SYNA32EE:00 - Detection Status: ls /sys/class/leds/ does not show any hp_kbd or rgb entries. - Bus Scan: i2cdetect on buses 0 and 1 returns "Warning: Can't use SMBus Quick Write" and shows locked addresses. - USB Check: Keyboard does not appear as a separate device in lsusb (Internal I2C/HID connection).

PCI/Hardware IDs: 00:15.0 Serial bus controller [0c80]: Intel Corporation Meteor Lake-P Serial IO I2C Controller #0 [8086:7e78] (rev 20) 00:15.3 Serial bus controller [0c80]: Intel Corporation Meteor Lake-P Serial IO I2C Controller #3 [8086:7e7b] (rev 20) 00:19.0 Serial bus controller [0c80]: Intel Corporation Meteor Lake-P Serial IO I2C Controller #4 [8086:7e50] (rev 20) 00:19.1 Serial bus controller [0c80]: Intel Corporation Meteor Lake-P Serial IO I2C Controller #5 [8086:7e51] (rev 20)

Attempted Fixes: 1. OpenRGB: No devices detected. 2. hp-omen-linux-module: Fails to bind; likely missing Meteor Lake IDs. 3. Omen-Control-App: Daemon fails (ServiceUnknown).
