Using OpenRGB on an MSI Motherboard
I've installed the OpenRGB AppImage via the
Now I know I can't just install native executable, and I've got EZ LED Control enabled in my motherboard, but I can't get OpenRGB to detect my ARGB headers. Is this something I can accomplish via a native OpenRGB install in an arch distrobox or will that not have sufficient system access? I've tried to install it in an arch distrobox but I don't see my headers there either.
I only have Bazzite installed so I don't even know if Windows would be able to find them via OpenRGB, but I'm hoping someone has run into this issue and can assist. I've searched the Discord and GitHub and I didn't find any other issues around OpenRGB and MSI, only the upstream FAQ.
ujustWriting to the superio registers requires either being root or setting the "CAP_SYS_RAWIO" permission. You can set this by using this command:
sudo setcap cap_sys_rawio=ep ./openrgb
Please note that this will only work on the native executable, appimages won't work. Additionally, if you've installed openrgb, apply the command to whichever path the executable was installed on.
