Brightness keys with same PS/2 code

[catalanmac]

Hi! This is my  first post. 

 

I'm trying to apply RehabMan's guide for brightness.

I have a working slider in SysPrefs/Display, with smooth transitions.

But I'm trying to enable brightness keys by the PS/2 method.

 

The fact is that ioio and VoodooPS2Controller.kext are reporting the same code for both keys, e02b=80

How can I enable the keys if they report the same code?

 

Thxs.

Based on the codes you posted, it sounds like you have an HP laptop.  If so, you might want to try this DSDT patch that RehabMan created.  It worked for me and others with HP laptops.

into method label _Q13 parent_label H_EC replace_content
begin
Store(HKNO, Local0)\n
If (LEqual(Local0,7))\n
{\n
// Brightness Down\n
    Notify(\_SB.PCI0.LPCB.PS2K, 0x0205)\n
    Notify(\_SB.PCI0.LPCB.PS2K, 0x0285)\n
}\n
If (LEqual(Local0,8))\n
{\n
// Brightness Up\n
    Notify(\_SB.PCI0.LPCB.PS2K, 0x0206)\n
    Notify(\_SB.PCI0.LPCB.PS2K, 0x0286)\n
}\n
If (LEqual(Local0,4))\n
{\n
// Mirror toggle\n
    Notify(\_SB.PCI0.LPCB.PS2K, 0x026e)\n
    Notify(\_SB.PCI0.LPCB.PS2K, 0x02ee)\n
}\n
end;

Hey! I just made it work.

But when I press brightness keys, the Touchpad and the Keyboard (both handled by VoodooPS2Controller.kext) stop working. Only if I plug an USB Mouse I can restart.

What can I do?
