Fn HotKey and ALS sensor driver for Asus Notebooks

Recommended Posts

Asus Zenbook UX305FA

 

Ref: Als.patch, AsusNBFnKeys 2.5 ApplePS2SmartTouchPad v 4.4 (latest)

 

TouchPad remains to sensitive at default values for Elan... Unintentional drags and clicks. Palm detection poor / kill touchpad if typing option ?

Note have not adjusted via plist

 

AsusNBFnKeys should trip SysPref | Display | ALS checkbox on status change. Reduce brightness to about 6 (dark for old man) in a dark room, desk light only 250 halogen bulb. Problem fails to raise as ambient light increases even with led flashlight indirect light at sensor/camera. Seems slow to react, balancing act to prevent overreaction I assume. Also observed failed  to give onscreen feedback of ALS on (auto). as other function keys. Resolved ALS_HAWELL still no onscreen display to indicate status.

 

ALS.patch compiles fine. 

 

Thanks for your help wanted to get you feedback asap. As I noted old fart due for cataract surgery next couple months, post allergy season...

 

Update: Just noted AsusNBFnKeys  error on shutdown  cannot find ALSS repeats numerous times. No ALS-patch in place test via install media clover with updated DSDT. However, AsusNBFnKey  2.5 kext in place. Will everyone patch ALS or do we need trap?

 

Would be glad to test and provide feedback if it would help.

I have couple of issues with new patches.  perhaps it is  only my case, here there are.

 

The patch for Fn+F2 status does not work, in fact, it reverses the indicator, after sleep or doing Fn+F2 (in two toggle mode)  it stays alawys on.

The patch Fn+F2 for four toggles does not work at all.

 

For some reason, unless I am doing something wrong,  the scrolling just does not work, unless I use external mouse.  Anyone had experienced these issues?  Any solutions specially for scrolling?.  Oh yes my laptop is an Asus UX303LN.

 

Here are my original and modified DSDTs:

hello,

I have an Asus zenbook UX31LA, I installed osx 10.10 , everything works except the keyboard backlight. Can anyone tell me what is the procedure to enable the keyboard backlight? I have already a pathced dsdt to make sound and battery indicator work. Do I need just one more dsdt patch for this or anything else?

thanks

You need AsusNBFnKey 2.5 and ApplePS2SmartTouchpad 4.4 This will give you Ambient Light Sensing for display and keyboard. Fn+A disable / enable ALS
