FCU4ever Posted April 5, 2019 Author Share Posted April 5, 2019 [ref]onemanosx[/ref], Is it possible that the "Brightness fix" from Rehabman repro cause the problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onemanosx Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 [ref]FCU4ever[/ref], unlikely.

FCU4ever Posted April 5, 2019 Author Share Posted April 5, 2019 [ref]onemanosx[/ref], Okay. The reason I am asking is because that after adding the brightness patch from Rehabman to my DSDT the brightness bar has indeed been added to systempreference but also the brightness of the screen is a lot lower than before the patch. Maybe that is the reason I cant control the brightness with te Fn keys after different patches? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onemanosx Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 [ref]FCU4ever[/ref], if you are using RH brightness kext and ssdt, you are able to adjust the intensity of brightness. But I have not looked into that.

FCU4ever Posted April 6, 2019 Author Share Posted April 6, 2019 [ref]onemanosx[/ref], I found this patch. This patch is used for an Asus laptop with Nvidia Graphics card to get the brightness slider working. My laptop is also an Asus and I have the Nvidia Geforce GTX460m inside.

onemanosx Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 [ref]FCU4ever[/ref], no idea since i never used asusFN kext.

FCU4ever Posted April 6, 2019 Author Share Posted April 6, 2019 [ref]onemanosx[/ref], And with wich patch you’ve got the brightness slider? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onemanosx Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 [ref]FCU4ever[/ref], similar patch as in your dsdt Add this patch to the latest DSDT that I had uploaded and remove AsusFN kext from your S/L/E or L/E or Clover/Kexts/Other. Rebuild permissions and reboot. (might also need to rebuild permissions again and reboot 2nd time) Â into method label _Q0E replace_content begin // Brightness Down\n Notify(\_SB.PCI0.SBRG.PS2K, 0x0205)\n Notify(\_SB.PCI0.SBRG.PS2K, 0x0285)\n end; into method label _Q0F replace_content begin // Brightness Up\n Notify(\_SB.PCI0.SBRG.PS2K, 0x0206)\n Notify(\_SB.PCI0.SBRG.PS2K, 0x0286)\n end; Â In some cases, slider wont adjust brightness. But working FNkeys will adjust the brightness accordingly. If this doesnt work, then I dont know.

FCU4ever Posted April 6, 2019 Author Share Posted April 6, 2019 [ref]onemanosx[/ref], I've patched the DSDT you've send me. Copied the DSDT to Clover/ACPI/Patched. Removed AsusFN kext. Rebuild permissions, reboot -> Slider appear and the FN buttons let the slider go up and down but the brightness isn't going up or down. Rebuild permissions again and reboot. Still no luck. Also the other FN buttons don't work without Asus FNkeys kext. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onemanosx Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 [ref]FCU4ever[/ref], maybe you need to mod the AsusFN kext plist. I cant help with that. Never used it.
