[Guide] - Brightness Hotkey Remapping

[MaLd0n]

[ref]juanvascas[/ref], use terminal

log show | grep -i acpidebug

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

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.

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

but I'm still unable to map my brightness keys

Upon finding your EC method for brightness keys, did you proceed to the next step of patching DSDT?

Sorry to bother you for the off topic again, but can you shed some light where should I start to make my battery works normal? one full charge only drains less half an hour

[ref]raelee[/ref], I use CPUFriend + CPUFriendDataProvider kexts for my laptop. Works great.

Thanks

technically, you should have 2 EC methods. One for increase and another for decrease. I suggest you check your work again.

You can also paste the below code into terminal. The result will tell you which EC methods are being used.

 

log show | grep -i acpidebug

[dell7580]

Hi

I tested many times

Fn+F11 decrease, Fn+F12 increase.

Is EC Q66

How do I upload an image?

If you don't mind

Thanks
