idoc Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 cele_82 and laurie57, From your posts I decided to take out the subroutine AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer::hwSetBacklight by applying a retn (0xC3) opcode. This works on my eeepc901 (945GM), but may not work with other setups of course. codeye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oxtobyd Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 FYI, tried the hack mentioned at http://ipis-osx.wikidot.com "hack AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer executable. I used HexEdit to open the file and changed address 0x5DEC from 0x55 to 0xC3. Then use Kext Helper to load." this was tried on a Asus 1000H and it works a treat, so finally getting gr8 battery life etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zwaldowski Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 I have a dv6654us with an Intel X3100 and and both brightness control (auto on unplug and fix Fn+F7/F8 keys) and QE/CI work beautifully. I don't use Natit, I replaced it with an EFI string (but it worked before, with Natit). I also get the invalid max firmware setting, though.

jodo Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Thx to the (file-) support of Nicolas I was able to give the patch a quick test - it seems to work flawlessly on my X60T. No artifacts (until now), backlight control works - yeah! I will do further testing during the next days and post any news.

Slither2008 Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 It's great that this issue has been addressed to some degree of success with intel GMA owners. But may i please ask that owners of nvidia 7600go who have this successfully working using a hack of sorts please post how. Or if there are some great minds out there that could please help out or at least give a basic run through of how nvidia owners code obtain their own pci lcd registers for testing ? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freaxed Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Hi all, following the idea from idoc, I patched my GMAX3100FB in order use brightness (for now I can only set the value using Reggie SE or a bash script with setpci, please read what cele_82 wrote, no Fn keys working yet). Please note that it's for SnowLeopard 10.6.2 and ONLY for 32bit (the 64bit part is not present) http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?yuyytykzmnw Hope this can help, I have a Sony VAIO VGN-FZ19VN.

Enjoy Could you upload a diff? This works perfect on an HP 6720s, the brightness call is handled by pure ACPI so it works great (you don't get the apple's brightness slide bar, but it's fine). Our keys Fn+F7 and Fn+F8 do the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lotech Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Did anyone have some progress with a little app to adjust brightness? The setpci command works perfectly for me (Vaio VPC-W), and for now I'm just using automator shortcuts to run the commands to set 10% or 100%. It would be good if there was a little status bar app to tweak the setting (beyond my coding skills sorry). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ariethekid Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 I have brightness and QE/CI working on my x3100 as well. With the slider bar and onscreen brightness icon when changing brightness. Only problem is key mapping. I can only lower the brightness with the keyboard, I can't increase it. I have to go to the display preferences to fix this. I wonder if there is a way to modify the keyboard mapping to fix this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
