Notebook: FN Key and Shutdown Patch

[zoliky]

Hello, I have a HP Probook 4540s laptop. It's a very versatile notebook and OS X works like a charm.

I think my Function Key (I have only one on the keybord) works out of the box. What I mean is this: I press FN+F1 and notebook goes to sleep. I press FN+F9 and volume increases. And so on.

My question is: Do I need this patch ?

 

# Enable functions keys
into device label PS2K insert
begin
Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized)\n
{\n
   Store (Package (0x02)\n
       {\n
           "AAPL,has-embedded-fn-keys", \n
           Buffer (0x04)\n
           {\n
               0x01, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00\n
           }\n
       }, Local0)\n
   DTGP (Arg0, Arg1, Arg2, Arg3, RefOf (Local0))\n
   Return (Local0)\n
}\n
end;

 

As I mentioned earlier, my function key works without that patch.

Another question, here's the shutdown fix:

#  Shutdown fix
into method label _PTS code_regex_not If\s\(LEqual\s\(Arg0,\s0x05\)\) code_regex ^((?:.|\n)*)$ replace_matched
begin
       If (LEqual (Arg0, 0x05)) {}\n
       Else\n
       {\n
%1
       }
end;

 

Both FN key and Shutdown patch are in the laptop section on Olarila.

I never experienced problems with shutdown, so I need that shutdown patch? What does that shutdown patch really do?

Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hello,

if things work without the patches, you surely don't need them.
