Live Gamer 4K Linux driver

WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT IF SOMEONE COULD FIX THIS BETTER THAN I CAN. there are crashing problems I can not solve

Based on the Linux driver for the CL511HN which can be downloaded here: Generic_Ubuntu_CL511HN_Drv_1.0.0031.zip

The CL511HN and GC573 (Live Gamer 4K) are very similar and their drivers are mostly interchangable. Though the firmware differences mean that some modes won't work on the LG4K.

This was tested on Arch 6.4.4 but should work on all distros

Caveats:

  • Driver needs to be recompiled/installed manually every time there's a kernel update
  • RGB LEDs are not supported and will keep flashing red
  • Scaler doesn't seem to work so selected resolution has to match input resolution (I'm not really sure this is true as i can set resolution)

How to

  • clone git repository
  • run ./build.sh
  • run sudo ./install.sh
  • reboot

ToDo

  • Maybe see if we can send a signal to turn off the LEDs by looking at the Windows driver
  • Check some audio issues in OBS

note from a user on Ubuntu I was missing the linux-modules-extra- package for my kernel. Running this command (on ubuntu 22.04.04) allowed the installer to complete successfully. sudo apt install linux-modules-extra-$(uname -r)
