ASUS Armoury Driver For Linux 6.19 Picks Up Support For More ASUS Laptops
A new driver in the Linux 6.19 kernel is the ASUS Armoury driver for supporting additional functionality with the ROG Ally gaming handhelds and other ASUS ROG gaming hardware like their laptops.
The ASUS Armoury driver builds off the existing ASUS WMI driver but provides some design improvements to make it better than handling it within the existing driver. There is support for adjusting the APU-allocated memory, Intel core count control for P and E cores, FHD and UHD mode switching for display panels, and other features typically only exposed via the system BIOS.

The ASUS Armoury driver has also fixed its power limits handling for the ASUS G513QY and fixing the PPT data for a few laptops.
