[jcmrdc]

Never mind, I found out what the problem was! I did the tutorial again and voilá! My brightness keys are working. Thanks a lot.

Thank you very much. Your guide is very helpful and resolves the problem of brightness control on my laptop

Will this guide include a script for the plot too? Also translated menu selections would be nice too.

Hi,

I came here because F1 and F2 are showing the level on the screen, the problem is that they are not really changing the brightness level at all. The max and minimum level are the same.

The problem following this guide is there's no brightness slider like in my High Sierra Hackintosh laptop (see attached image).

What should I do first?

Thanks

[ref]josecar[/ref], tick "addPNLF" in clover. Use Whatevergreen.kext + Lilu.kext.

Thanks, it worked but there's no box for the "automatic..." (attach image)

that way it's also ok to start with the tutorial?

Yes, you can follow the tutorial to map your hotkeys.

Is it possible for you to take a look of why ACPI patch is not applying properly? I tried patching it with latest MaciASL and verified that ACPIDebug.kext loaded but I was not seeing any ACPIDebug output in the system log.

Thanks.

[ref]juanvascas[/ref], use terminal

log show | grep -i acpidebug

[juanvascas]

Nice I can actually see something but not with every special key for example if I press F11 nothing happens (which should be my brightness down) same with F12 which I want as brightness up but if I press Fn+F11 it is typed in the terminal windows: [[23~ and if I press Fn+F12 it types: ^[[24~

Edit: Got some ACPIDebug lines but they are kind of the same and they happened all at once. A couple seconds later same thing happened and it now ended the show log of ACPIDebug by itself.

[ref]juanvascas[/ref], Are you using voodoops2controller kext? The debug is only useful if you use voodoops2controller for keyboard.

I am, deleted the mouse and trackpad plugin but yeah I am using the keyboard one

Your DSDT is not patched with RH debug code

@onemanosx , is it possible to make the same guide with acpi hotpatching?

The process of figuring out the hotkeys are similar with RH acpidebug method. In order to implement into SSDT, one just need to translate the code into SSDT implementation and not forgetting renaming device to "NULL" (in clover).

Recently, I just did a "make-over" patch for my laptop running OpenCore. And the output is just as such in the screenshot.

Here, you can see the patched code in SSDT, original code in DSDT and the renaming of hotkey button in OC's config.plist

Wow very simple straight forward guide and it worked even if I see some (lagginess?) but I still like it thanks
