Hello, I added the values to my dsdt (GFX0) and your kext loads and I have slider in preference pane and hotkeys work(I see the sun bezel) but the brightness does not change at all.

Oct 13 13:44:07 Jamezelles-Mac-Pro kernel[0]: ACPIBacklightPanel: ACPI Method _DOS found. Device path: _SB.PCI0.PEG1.GFX0

Oct 13 13:44:07 Jamezelles-Mac-Pro kernel[0]: ACPIBacklightPanel: Version 1.0

I attached my ioreg dump and dsdt, any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

This is a driver for laptops which backlight are controlled by ACPI Methods: if you have _DOS _BCL _BCM _BQC in you DSDT.

This driver provides native backlight management for laptops with   backlight managed by ACPI : slider in the display pref pane and sun bezel when you press backlight up/down hotkey (with an other driver than   can understand
....

Great work 'hotKoffy', thank you!! Works great on my HP Pavillion and no KPs on resolution change like I had with ivik's kext.

I have that in kernel.log

However, when I put the slider on the lowest setting in System Preferences, the brightness of the screen stays on max.

Any ideas?

Just loaded this version, However the brightness still does not change. my dsdt and ioreg are a few posts up, any ideas what I might be doing wrong, or are my BCQ  and BCM methods not returning proper values?

_BQC is returning an out of range 650 value. (not responsible of KP)

                    Method (_BQC, 0, NotSerialized)
                    {
                        If (IGDS)
                        {
                            Return (QBQC ())

                        }
                    }

It is possible that IGDS is setup by BIOS. There is a lot of tests about it in the DSDT.

Seems that your _BQC is returning an index. This causes initial value problem (defaults to 0) but should not be a problem doing a level change after.

I have just copy your _BQC without changing it to illustrate my words. It is up to you to analyze how your DSDT works.

I've an idea:
you have 3 times the methods _DOS _BCL... nested in 3 devices PEG1 PEG3 GFX0
I think all this objects are populated in the device tree even if only one is valid. So the driver takes the first it finds and it is not the good one. So no effect when you move the slider.
Locate in ioreg on which device the graphics drivers is on and then put this on PNLF, changing in my example \_SB.PCI0.IXVE.IGPU.LCDD with the good paths.


                        Device (PNLF)
                        {
                            Name (_HID, EisaId ("APP0002"))
                            Name (_CID, "backlight")
                            Name (_UID, 0x0A)
                            Name (_STA, 0x0B)
                            
                            Method (_BCL, 0, NotSerialized)
                            {
                                return (\_SB.PCI0.IXVE.IGPU.LCDD._BCL())
                            }
                            
                            Method (_BCM, 1, NotSerialized)
                            {
                                \_SB.PCI0.IXVE.IGPU.LCDD._BCM(Arg0)
                            }
    
                            Method (_BQC, 0, NotSerialized)
                            {
                                return (\_SB.PCI0.IXVE.IGPU.LCDD._BQC())
                            }

                        }

Thanks for the idea! The values were pointing to the wrong device(\_SB.PEG1.GFX0.LCDD instead of the correct one which is \_SB.PEG3.GFX0.LCDD), and I just fixed the paths by setting the path to the methods of my LCD in the PNLF Device, but the slider is still not changing the brightness.

I can change the brightness before it enters the system and when i do it reports the value i change it to (max is 0xa, when I turned the brightness down, but not all the way and it reported 0x3) So like you said it sems to be reporting indexes of the brightness levels instead of the actual levels.

Could that be a problem? Is there a way I could try to have _BCM set values of 0x0 through 0xa ? maybe from the terminal?

Thanks for the idea! The values were pointing to the wrong device(\_SB.PEG1.GFX0.LCDD instead of the correct one which is \_SB.PEG3.GFX0.LCDD), and I just fixed the paths by setting the path to the methods of my LCD in the PNLF Device, but the slider is still not changing the brightness.

I can change the brightness before it enters the system and when i do it reports the value i change it to (max is 0xa, when I turned the brightness down, but not all the way and it reported 0x3) So like you said it sems to be reporting indexes of the brightness levels instead of the actual levels.

Could that be a problem? Is there a way I could try to have _BCM set values of 0x0 through 0xa ? maybe from the terminal?

Ok, getting closer I think. now its reporting the correct brighness in ioreg when I move the slider but the brightness does not actually change on the screen, I suspect its not going to work :blink:. Maybe BCM isnt commiting the values correctly or perhaps the Nvidia driver is blocking it maybe?

Tried this also, brightness does not actually change on the screen, I think the Nvidia driver is blocking the change for the brightness to the screen.

Tried this also, brightness does not actually change on the screen, I think the Nvidia driver is blocking the change for the brightness to the screen.

No the Nvidia has nothing to do with it.
I think there is something OS specific in your DSDT. You have to understand how the DSDT behave depending on the value returned by _OSI or _OS.

I think the best way is to follow windows 7 specificities
If (_OSI ("Windows 2009"))
                {
                    Store (OSW7, OSFG)
                }
using
If (_OSI ("Darwin"))
                {
                     Store (OSW7, OSFG)
                 }
