If I'm reading correctly, this only uses generic support through the kernel (yay libusb), and actually implements all the interesting stuff in user space. If so, that's fantastic, because it means you don't need to patch the actual kernel, and that's really, really nice. I understand it's not always practical but I do wish as many drivers as were possible were at least initially supported like this, with kernel support later if we really wanted it.

For anyone else who was wondering what this looks like:
Reverse-engineered and vibe-coded? I've been seeing a lot more projects like this recently; it seems getting an AI to do a lot of the work for you has lowered the barrier to entry.

A cool thing would be to put a progress bar for something on the lid screen so you can see how long is left and open up the laptop when it is finished.
