Precision M6800: loss of brightness control after Big Sur update to 11.3

Lost brightness control too on my E6230. I have PNLF device built into the patched DSDT; it was something I had added years and years ago; need to remove that and opt for SSDT-PNLF table as posted on, say, Dortania. This may fix the brightness issue.

Brightness control restored in 11.3 on my E6230 after removing device PNLF from the patched DSDT (it was a very old patch of mine) and adding SSDT-PNLF table (from Dortania).

 

@draskostar watch out with your ACPI settings with regards to iGPU: if you have renamed GFX0 to IGPU in your patched DSDT rather than through bootloader's ACPI device renaming, you'll also have to rename GFX0 to IGPU in SSDT-PNLF too.

If I use my bios device name for HD4600 (PCI0.GFX0) no success; if I rename PCI0.GFX0 to PCI0.IGPU also no success. On 11.2.3 SSDT-PNLFCFL was enough for me (even thought I have Haswell). I also enclosed a file that worked for me before 11.3.

I don't think you should be using that SSDT-PNLFCFL on a Haswell laptop. Given that you rename GFX0 to iGPU in your OC config, I'd have used the regular SSDT-PNLF table, as is, i.e. with references to GFX0.

 

NB: I note that you've not disabled the nVidia dGPU; is that normal?

With regular you mean that one from opencore’s website? So I then put this SSDT-PNLF into folder ACPI. Should I also enable rename patch in ACPI settings?

 

Why would I need to disable Nvidia? I generally use internal screen (hd4600) but If I connect to external monitor then k4100m is available.
