Guest Super_LoP

Super_LoP could you tell me what program you use to make dsdt's? I feel bad having to ask you to compile mine every time :P every time i do it with dsdt editor ill get stubborn errors that wont go away.

I use DSDT Editor. No problem to ask me, we try together to solve this problem ^_^

New DSDT didn't work ?

And what bootloader are you using? Ive heard Clover will fix your iMessage problem.

^ He's a good resource

I use the latest Chameleon.

In fact, iMessage work, but not with my iCloud account. It's a problem that original Mac users can have.

It's write to call Apple Care for check acount, not the problem in video.

It's strange because I can use in my iPod...

Thanks but we shouldn't talk about it there, not a thread about iMessage. :)

Right you are and nope, no prevail with it. Rehabman's helping me on another form and wanted me to try this but Im talentless with dsdt's i tried myself and got strings of text telling me incorrect values. Heres a link http://www.tonymacx86.com/mountain-lion-laptop-support/105629-help-arrandale-processor-i3-370m-power-management.html#post645487

Your values make different text appear but i believe its an improvement

Can you look at that link and make the necessary adjustments?

 

the PNLF :

Method (_BCL, 0, NotSerialized) { Return (\_SB.PCI0.GFX0.DD03._BCL()) }

Method (_BCM, 1, NotSerialized) { \_SB.PCI0.GFX0.DD03._BCM(Arg0) }

Method (_BQC, 0, NotSerialized) { Return (\_SB.PCI0.GFX0.DD03._BQC()) }

Method (_DOS, 1, NotSerialized) { \_SB.PCI0.GFX0._DOS (Arg0) }

 

and WAK 

Method (_WAK, 1, Serialized)

{

\_SB.PCI0.GFX0.DD03._BCM(50) // set to 50% brightness

 

 

Store (Zero, P80D)

If (LOr (LEqual (Arg0, 0x03), LEqual (Arg0, 0x04)))

{

If (LEqual (PMEE, One))

...

}

I'm not enough skill :(

Please open your DSDT.aml on /Extra directory with DSDT Editor and test. Mine you downloaded has no error to compile.

Hey Super_Lop I dont know what I did, but i have backlight on wake up, the mouse works fine but unresponsive keyboard. Guess now were on the same page

Now we have exactly the same problem. Could someone help us ?

A quick question - just thinking about source of my issues:

Does OSX partition have to be marked as bootable for hibernate/sleep to work properly?

As you know, for instance in Windows on an MBR BIOS computer (which I am), if a partition other than Windows partition is active (i.e. bootable), hibernate/sleep won't work! Is it same with OSX?

Thank you for the info. Finally I run with myPoint Shade because of eye-care and shade assistant. The assistant turns off the shade automatically when I switched to VLC and returns shade back when I return to DB tasks.

I'm very happy that my post help someone!!!  :)

Will this also work for Nvidia discrete graphics? I was able to get the slider thingy on my display panel following this method but it's unresponsive. 

 

 

It's only for 8086:0046 aka Intel HD Graphics 1st Generation.

 

EDIT : I found a thing about my brightness keys. Without SPARK (app), when I push "Pause,ATTN" (on French keyboard), it Brightness on up. Maybe I should check about the layout or Voodoo PS2?

So I followed all the instructions given, but, my issue isnt solved. ._. The brightness works, yes, but it isnt bright. I just need the PNLF device and it'll suddenly get me a slider and such - not even need a kext. But its not bright. When my screen sleeps and gets back on, its as bright as it should be. What do I need to fix? :/ it's frustrating...especially because my DSDT now feels 2x as long as its original dump was. o-o

Super_LoP  Do you get these in your verbose boot too? Maybe on to something 

ACPIBacklightPanel: ACPI Methods _DOS _BCL _BCM _BQC found. Device path: (Ill fill in after, camera cut it off)

ACPIBacklightPanel: getIndexForLevel(50) not found in _BCL table ! 

ACPIBacklightPanel: Error in queryACPICurentBrightnessLevel _BQC

ACPIBacklightPanel: getIndexForLevel(16) not found in _BCL table !

ACPIBacklightPanel: Version 1.2

I have a feeling this is blocking the full potential of the patch (Brightness on wake)

About the "ACPIBacklightPanel: getIndexForLevel(50) not found in _BCL table ! " for that, you need proper value table under _BCL method in your DSDT. First two values in it are about your display brightness in AC and battery mode and after that, the 17 levels are for the brightness levels for your screen. Put these values correct, you will have proper brightness and no more such lines in your console.

Your how-to seems very confusing to me.

 

So I add this code (With my edited BAR0, BAR1, BAR2, etc..):

OperationRegion (BRIT, SystemMemory, 0xB0048254, 0x04)
Field (BRIT, AnyAcc, Lock, Preserve)
{
LEVL, 32
}
OperationRegion (BRI2, SystemMemory, 0xB0048250, 0x04)
Field (BRI2, AnyAcc, Lock, Preserve)
{
LEV2, 32
}
OperationRegion (BRI3, SystemMemory, 0xB00C8250, 0x04)
Field (BRI3, AnyAcc, Lock, Preserve)
{
LEVW, 32
}
OperationRegion (BRI4, SystemMemory, 0xB00C8254, 0x04)
Field (BRI4, AnyAcc, Lock, Preserve)
{
LEVX, 32
}

 To here:

Hi all,

 

I'd like to ask you something, brightness works OOB on my laptop (Asus U30JC) but I don't have brightness slider. I tried to modify my DSDT but seems there is no name associated with my laptop display. Can anybody take a look at my DSDT and help?

 

--edit--

 

attached new dsdt with modified "magic numbers" but still no slider :-(

 

 

Thanks in advance and best regards,

fingerr.

Hi,

 

is there any debug version of this kext?

 

Second day I'm tryning to get it working, but no luck.

 

In log files I see:

 

02.10.2013 17:03:10,000 kernel[0]: ACPIBacklightPanel: ACPI Methods _DOS _BCL _BCM _BQC found. Device path: _SB.PNLF
02.10.2013 17:03:10,000 kernel[0]: ACPIBacklightPanel: getIndexForLevel(100) not found in _BCL table !
02.10.2013 17:03:10,000 kernel[0]: ACPIBacklightPanel: Version 1.2
 
and can't adjust my DSDT to get it working. 
 
Please find attached my DSDT (I have optimus laptop so last GFX0 in PCI0 is the correct one.) and check if there is any home to get it working.
BTW: I can adjust brihgtness but slider is not working and sun bezel is not shown.
 
Thanks in advance and best regards,
 
fingerr.

great tutorial. all works well.

 

btw, it's my first post here. i've just got into Hackintosh-ing.

 

Acer 4740. Maverick. bootloader=clover.

 

for those who still confuse, just follow the tutorial. remember to change the DD0X, the magic number (0xX) and your graphic card (GFX0, IGP, and so on)

 

then in DSDT Editor compile it, make sure there are not too many errors (i have 2 errors, but press the fix errors button then it compiled well).

 

enjoy

 

now i dont have to live with max brightness anymore.

 

thanks

Hey Guys, I tried to patch my DSDT with the brightness guide but I failed each time... I would be very grateful if someone could patch it for me. Thank you very much :D

y u no share ur dsdt?

 

Lol. I can try patch it for you. But it's pretty easy though. I suggest you try for yourself. And what's the error anyway? Is it in dsdt editor or what?
