updating the script for neptune 6.11 works, but another thing I had to note is that I had been using these scripts for so long that the cloned xone repo on my system was still the medusalix version, which doesn't have the 6.11 kernel fix. I guess I just never noticed because it worked anyway (until now) and the script never noticed since it only checks if a xone folder exists or not.
I needed to go to /home/deck/repos and manually delete the xone folder so the script would know to clone from the dlundqvist branch instead.

For anyone wondering, just open the $HOME/.xone_install_or_update.sh script, replace all occurence of 3.6 with 3.7 and neptune-61 with neptune-611

not the cleanest way but works for now :)

Hmmm... this still isn't working for me. Four occurrences of the former, one occurrence of that latter. Perhaps there is ... something else?

Seems like you need a search and replace on neptune-65 and replace it with neptune-611 too

I shall get an update out in the next couple of days but @govatent workaround will work fine.

@tower12346 good catch, I'll make sure the script checks for the correct repo

0.10.0 Released 🚀

Changelog

• Support SteamOS 3.7
• Ensure the correct repo is used for the xone driver

Let me know if there's any issues but worked fine on my Deck after updating to 3.7

@SavageCore would it be an idea to upgrade this gist into an actual repository? We would get proper tagging out of the box, issues that can be tagged, also pull requests, discussions, etc.

Thanks for updating this! After scratching my head for a while about why this wasn't working for me (I was getting "Failed to load xone_dongle module"), I tried running it with the debug flag (--debug in the commandline or the debug desktop shortcut) and that worked perfectly - not sure why there was a difference... thanks anyway 👍

No problem! Debug will force a reinstall, not sure what happened there but at least that fixed it.

@mongrelion, moved to a repo. PR's welcome. Will close comments here in the next couple of days probably.

@SavageCore awesome. Good job!
