Alienware-Hardware-Drivers-Desktop

Asked by sean.hosie@hotmail.com

I have a Alienware Desktop Area-51 ALX and Im running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.

I also have paid support from ubuntu but have no phone number to call,

I need a driver to run the lighting, cooling fans and water cooling on my cpu.

I have searched everywhere on the net for others with this issue and have come up empty handed, I have even tried to run windows in a virtualbox and run the driver and app through there but again unsccessfull.

Hopefully there is someone in this great community able to assist me with these drivers and app for my Desktop I am willing to pay if this product can become available to me.

Alienware use a lot of proprietary garbage to manage power which is hard to support. Have you reported any bugs?

yeah I tried to contact by e-mail but am waiting on a reply from the ubuntu team.

So is there no 1 that can write me a driver?

Im not having any bugs with the os but when my system starts up it may switch the fans and water to full blast for no reason so I need some sort of control over it.

Can you help with this problem?
