Ok but.
I read the changelog of 10.8.3
so I think it's not really necessary to have an upgrade If you have an hardware like ours.

this is because I chosed to not upgrade the os. But if I wish to do.. I know how.. thanks you

really a good job !

i'm afraid to upgrade..

are you able to write a guide?

small update
http://www.ebay.it/i...984.m1497.l2649

and bluetooth4.0 native in ML
and wake from mighty mouse is perfect from sleep

this is quite different
1st it doesn't contain a (_DOS method. and all the merhods are in the (suppose) gfx0 not inside any of the device as we have.
I try to adapt those into asus..
and another problem is that your attachment has BRTL.. so where is the definition.. retrieve of the value? I must invent!
please send me the complete dsdt
in the meantime I try to invent

those are the acpi4.0a definitions..

brtl ok
Acquire (MUTX, 0xFFFF)
Error 4058 - Invalid type ^  ([Integer|String|Buffer|DdbHandle|Reference] found, Acquire operator requires [Mutex])

dsdt.dsl   2615: Store (Local0, SSMY)
Error 4084 - Object does not exist ^  (SSMY)

dsdt.dsl   2617: Release (MUTX)
Error 4058 - Invalid type ^  ([Integer|String|Buffer|DdbHandle|Reference] found, Release operator requires [Mutex])

ok
brtl was present already in asus
created name SSMY value 0
commented acquire and release mutex

reboot
no acpi backlight loaded no bar in panel

ok
I restore the bar
respect than before I have in the consolle the correct value between 0 and 100 if I move the bar.
but no effect on the system

I changed:
commend to PNLF retrieve in the acpibacklight driver
inserted NAME CID backlight in the LCD1 device (in order to force load the acpibacklight and has backlights methods (the newer of apple)

the ioreg shows as before an independent ACPI LCD1 in ADR 0x110 under Root and not under Nvidia..
and the display of invidia is (as before) without bcl bcq methods



the bootlog shows:
