Fn HotKey and ALS sensor driver for Asus Notebooks

[Kalmah]

Without more details, we can't help you .

 

Have you used the DSDT patch?

My PNLF:

            Device (PNLF)
                    {
                        Name (_HID, EisaId ("APP0002"))
                        Name (_CID, "backlight")
                        Name (_UID, 0x0A)
                        Name (_STA, 0x0B)
			            Method (_BCL, 0, NotSerialized)
			            {
			                Return (\_SB.PCI0.PEGR.GFX0.LCDD._BCL ())
			            }
			            Method (_BCM, 1, NotSerialized)
			            {
			                \_SB.PCI0.PEGR.GFX0.LCDD._BCM (Arg0)
			            }
			            Method (_BQC, 0, NotSerialized)
			            {
 			               Return (\_SB.PCI0.PEGR.GFX0.LCDD._BQC ())
			            }
			            Method (_DOS, 1, NotSerialized)
			            {
			                \_SB.PCI0.PEGR.GFX0._DOS (Arg0)
			            }
                    }

I patched my dsdt the instructions on the first page, throw kext on kext utility...

The sound is not regulated by the function keys. I use native kext for sound.

There is new update coming for this driver so try that kext after i release it within a week

 

I appreciate the update, but can anyone at least confirm that the edits that I did to my DSDT are ok ? I would like to at least rule out this possibility..

 

Thank you,

This edit is for backlight control, not for Fn keys. Let me know your specs and send me dsdt file so i can patch.

Your edits are fine for fn keys. All the keys i mentioned in the first aren't working? you said it worked first time, what did you later?

Ya that's the weird part. I was using chimera (chameleon, stolen and rebranded) as a bootloader at that time and I just loaded up the kext for the UX series laptops and right away I noticed that the Mute, and volume Up and Down shortcuts were working great with the OS X animation !

 

I then changed the bootloader to Clover and edited my DSDT in order to get the other keys working and all of a sudden none of the FN key combinations work anymore.. Is there any way I can debug this ?

 

I mean DSDT edits or not, the Volume Fn shortcuts should still work, no ?

 

Thank you for your help,

DSDT edits are only for enabling Brightness control to Screen and Keyboard, whereas remaining keys should work without any edits in my driver. Send me your System log from Console app so i can check.

Could you send me your dump based on this thread : https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/1945-dsdtssdt-patching/ from windows so i can add your model to our EDP support?

 

I'll let you know about the dsdt edit tomorrow since I'm trying to release an update for this driver as well.

I have edited my DSDT Getting out of the windows with aida64. Once the camera is not working and some of the function keys. I disabled the Nvidia (method PINI). Work only fn +1 (sleep), fn + f5,6, 7 (backlight). All without animation. (Translated by Google)

Here is my System.log file. Please let me know if you need anything else.

EDIT : while searching for ASUS in my All Messages System Log Quesries in the Console, i found this message :

 

 

5/4/13 2:28:57.968 PM com.apple.kextd[12]: Kext id com.apple.AsusNBWMI not found; removing personalities from kernel.

 

 

Does that mean that the extension is not properly installed ?
