lubeats Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 (edited) I want to know How to remap my keyboard to brightness control keys. I have a Lenovo Z70-80 laptop with Core i7-5500 and my graphics card is Intel HD Graphics 5500 running macOS HS 10.13.6I followed the RebahMan Guide Patching DSDT/SSDT for LAPTOP backlight control and in a special part it says that if the VoodooPS2Controller.kext doesn't works correctly with your own keyboard We can custom it.Then, I follow the next steps:Determining EC query methods:- install ACPIDebug.kext: https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-ACPI-Debug - I installed on S/L/E- add the ACPIDebug repo to MaciASL "Sources" per README - It is on sources by default- apply ""Add DSDT Debug Methods" - I added this to my DSDT- apply "Instrument EC Queries" - I added this to my DSDT- I added debug.txt too- In Readme debug says 3 steps, but this final step:Third, add code to your DSDT to where you wish to cause trace messages to system.log (call \RMDT.PUSH). - I don't understand this part or what code I should add. Please I need support with this special part.- I added additionally ioio binary file to /usr/bin/ , like it says in the guide- reboot- monitor system.log as you press your brightness keysAfter I reboot I pressed all FN keys, one by one and with combinations with Fn+ key but nothing.My DSDT. aml patched file is in /Clover/ACPI/patched and like it says in guide the system.log is created in root, I can understand is the same folder where is my DSDT, after pressed the keys.

lubeats Posted September 2, 2018 Author Share Posted September 2, 2018 Finally I could solve my problem without help. I made changes into System Preferences/Keyboard. I forced change and it works with combination Fn+ F11 or F12. My current functional hot keys is F1 - Mute - by Default F2 - Decrease volume - by Default F3 - Increase volume - by Default F4 - Close apps or current windows by Default F5 - nonfunctions F6 - On/Off Touchpad by Default F7 - nonfunctions F8 - Launchpad F9 - On/Off Display LED F10 + Fn - Show Desktop F11 - Decrease brightness F12 - Increase brightness That's all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lubeats Posted September 17, 2018 Author Share Posted September 17, 2018 Hello @acostagera The first you need to know is that You should unlock the UEFI BIOS. I bought a special SPI programer the last year to read the info of my SPI BIOS Chip, before that I had to desolder from the motherboard and after read the info modify it to flash with changes done.

acostagera Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Do you still have the unlocked bios. I just got the adapter cable to flash the bios on the mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom brown Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 I think you should verify the BIOS setting and you have to check the cabling of your keyboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
