I found this manual page that not only describe the fan controllers and lid switch but also the keyboard LED controller as well. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1269646/Clevo-P650hs.html?page=114#manual I should be able to write code to interface with this hardware directly from FreeBSD. Where can I go to get help with this?
