Sorry, I use IORegistryExplorer v3.0

Reattach DSDT (Extracted from windows)

IOReg 2.1 dump: https://www.dropbox.com/s/0q6y966ukcdlrlu/wrk73_v2.1.ioreg.zip

thank you!

You need to send an ioreg when it is giving you that message. The one you sent looks like the laptop was plugged in and fully charged at the time.

 

BTW: IORegistryExplorer 3.0 cannot read the files it creates. That's one of of the reasons (the main reason) I don't use it. The other is that the output in the right side (property list) is not sorted by property name. Annoying.

 

Also, you should probably patch your DSDT with "AC Adapter Fix"

Hi rehab, your patch works flawlessy, no one problem. Thanks ;)

 

I have a question, fn f2 fn f3  don't work for brightness, so i decided to start to use your voodoops2, really good driver, really, but i don't understand how remap these keys because i not founded a guide. Sorry. If i use your fakesmc kozlek fork what i can give you for purpose? i mean, can you add my hp to your keyboard plist in that kext in some way? I can make all tries, but i need a guide.  For example if it's possible to off wifi from fn keys but this last is not really important honestly.  For example, brightness up now it's working with fn + shift (on right) LOL

 

Thanks if you can help me also with these skills ;)

Off topic, but...

 

See the wiki: https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-Voodoo-PS2-Controller/wiki

 

You will need to determine if Fn+F2 and Fn+F3 generate scan codes. If they don't then they are likely handled by WMI/ACPI and it won't work to remap via the PS2 driver.

Ok, sorry i have not founded a right topic for this your kext, btw they have scan codes because if i use a usb keyboard then in keyboard prefpane i have the possibility to set fnf2 and fnf3 with brightness, but i want avoid the need to use a usb keyboard to shown the video options for those two keys.

 

Edit: maybe not, only F1 F2 have scan code, fn+F1 and fn+F2 not

Maybe WMI/ACPI? _but in dsdt i not see any known WMI for HP, i am confuse...

 

Now i try with debug version:

 

F1 =  3b=7a

F2 =  3c=78

F3 =  3d=63

F4 =  3e=76

F5 =  3f=60

F6 =  40=61

F7 =  41=62

F8 =  42=64

F9 =  43=65

F10 =  44=6d

F11 =  57=67

F12 =  58=6f

 

Fn + F1 =  e05b=3a

Fn + F2 =  nothing!

Fn + F3 =  nothing!

Fn + F4 =  1923

Fn + F5 =  nothing!

Fn + F6 =  e010=4d

Fn + F7 =  e022=34

Fn + F8 =  e019=42

Fn + F9 =  e02e=49

Fn + F10 =  e030=48

Fn + F11 =  e020=4a

Fn + F12 =  nothing!

 

F1= There is an ?

F2= brightness down

F3= brightness up

F4= probably to switch on vga

F5= really for nothing

F6= trace back

F7= pause trace

F8= trace forward

F9= volume down

F10= volume up

F11= volume mute

F12= wifi on/off

 

Not working: brightness and wifi

Working: Fn + SHIFT RIGHT= e045=71  for brightness up

 

Ok, for example now if i want to remap brightness up and down, what exactly i must do to make coincide F2F3 with brightness?

 

Thank you

That's what I mean... They do not generate scan codes:

 

Fn + F2 = nothing!

Fn + F3 = nothing!

Fn + F5 = nothing!

BTW, was this a typo?

Fn + F4 = 1923

You could certainly remap your Fkeys (without Fn), but then you'll lose the capability to press F2, F3, F5 (some apps might use those for keyboard shortcuts). It is a choice you can make.

 

I'm certain these keys are actually handled by ACPI/WMI, so you could go that route.

 

And please open a new thread for this offtopic...

Rehab i have seen that your battery patch remove completely this device Name (_HID, "PNP0C14")[/size]

 

 

In the other thread i have written this. Is there  possibilty to keep that device but with batery patch?[/size]

That is the WMI device. Only used by Windows. Why do you want to keep it? For this patch it was easier to remove it as there would be a lot more to fix/patch if you want to keep it.

Now i have seen that with PNP0C14 not removed in new patch Fn + F12 for wifi on/off works again! Like in Windows! Amazing!! Thanks for new patch ;-)  Well done

I tried your patch "battery_HP-ProBook-Generic.txt" for my 8570p. Battery icon works and shows when plugged into into AC but charge level is always 0% when I unplug AC.

 

I noticed that for 8570p I should use ProBook 4530s patch repo instead, but can't find it. Could you point me to the correct file?

Works beautifully, thank you :)

 

BTW, is that AppleACPIBatteryManager.kext.zip in the first page patched kext or homemade, also is it up to date version?

 

Edit:

Also do you have a compatible DSDT patch to fix the brightness?

The battery manager is open source (originally based on code provided by Apple). I use my own version of this battery manager: https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-ACPI-Battery-Driver

 

For brightness, the latest technique is here: https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-ACPI-Backlight. Make sure you follow the links and read everything.

Your fork of ACPI Battery Manager seems to work really well, reacts fast too. Does backlight still decrease when you unplug AC with ACPI backlight kext or is it 100% all the time?

It should adjust once AC adapter status is detected as changed. This is actually something that the system does, not ACPIBacklight. What I mean is that ACPIBacklight does not track AC status and modify the backlight level. The system does that and informs ACPIBacklight to change the current backlight level to a new value.

 

Open SysPrefs->Displays to see if the slider moves as you plug/unplug AC adapter.

Slider moves when I plug/unplug AC adapter but there is no visible change in backlight. Also if I manually move the slider, nothing happens. Without ACPIBacklight.kext it works fine, except that the backlight is not 100% when I reboot. I wonder if there is some bug specific to my laptop?

It means your DSDT methods for backlight are not working; it is not uncommon.

 

Did you follow all links and research the DSDT patches necessary, gather your data range under Windows with RW-Everything, etc? If you don't know what I'm talking about, you didn't read enough.

You mean for my original DSDT or when I applied the battery patch into my DSDT?

I'm talking about DSDT methods related to backlight (_BCL/_BQC/_BCM). Unrelated to battery methods.

 

This is off-topic. Backlight issues would be better discussed here: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/268219-acpi-backlight-driver/

I Didn't know ACPIBacklight.kext needed DSDT patching. Thanks, I'll take a look at that thread.

They are needed when the DSDT methods provided by the OEM aren't functional. See the README at github... follow the links.
