Hello,
I installed the kernel module, signed it, enrolled it etc.
At first everything worked, except the static mode, which caused the lights to go off.
Then when I played around a little and pressed the backlight button on the keyboard (Fn+F9 and F10), the screen brightness went down to 0% and the keyboard stopped working.
After a reboot it works again, but now the keyboard is just dark and running the commands doesn't do anything.
I booted to a live USB and then shut the computer down, after starting it again the keyboard lighting is working again, but now I can't change it. The kernel module is installed and the program runs without any error messages, but nothing happens.

After playing around even more with it, I followed the advice on this link: #4
(uninstall, remove, reinstall).
After this I have the same experience: all the fancy wave/breathe/etc effects work, EXCEPT the static one. (I did not dare to press the backlight button again, it's getting late and I'm happy it's working at least a bit.
All I want is change the keyboard color from red to blue, any ideas? (And I would like to keep using secure boot as well.)

Found an undocumented solution:
setting the speed to 0 for breath mode actually makes it static and it works:
./facer_rgb.py -m 1 -cR 0 -cB 255 -cG 230 -s0

Looks like the Fn+F10 issue persists even after removing the kernel module and uninstalling the service, so it doesn't seem to be related to this project.
I will close this issue, though the static mode issue is still there, but that can be solved with a workaround.
