Fn HotKey and ALS sensor driver for Asus Notebooks

Does anybody else have an issue in Sierra where you select multiple items using the "shift" key and any arrow key and it toggles the mute/unmute bezel? I have Karabiner installed but it doesn't make a difference if I quit it or not. Everything else works fine.

It only happen when using the right shift button, the left one is normal

I'm using this kext, v2.6 on my Asus UX305, everything works very well.

 

One question, is there anyway to swap Fn+F1, F2, etc with F1, F2, etc? So we can directly use those function keys without having to hold the Fn key

UX305 FA? I have same laptop running sierra. Maybe We can talk.

Hi,

i have Asus UX21A. I have problems with keys F5 and F6.

Work:

Fn+F1 - sleep 

Fn+F2 - enable/disable BT + WLAN

Fn+F3 - keyboard backlight down

Fn+F4 - keyboard backlight up

Fn+F5 - brightness down 

Fn+F6 - brightness up

It works on display a login and password to OS X 10.11. Once logged in, it stops working, but the brightness can be adjusted by a combination of SHIFT+F2 (down) and SHIFT+F3 (UP) ???????????????

Fn+F7 - on/off LCD

Fn+F8 - on/off external monitor (I do not know is working or not, have not tested.)

Fn+F9 -on/off trackpad

Fn+10 - mute

Fn+11 - Sound down

Fn+12 - Sound up

 

My kext:

ACPIBacklight.kext

ApplePS2SmartTouchPad.kext

AsusNBFnKeys.kext

EAPDFix.kext

FakeSMC.kext

IOAudioFamily.kext

NullCPUPowerManagement.kext

VoodooHDA.kext

 

How to make the keys work properly?
I should be grateful if you still advise how to do:
1) 10.11 working display temperature and fan speed.

 

2) The charge status and battery capacity

 

Thanks !!! 

 
 
yep, facing same problem about FN keys on my asus GL552JX at 10.12.4
 
but i was installing ACPI debug kext also patching EC query from DSDT due make sure the variable are correct, magically the Brightness keys are working.
 
im not sure if debuging acpi can give some bad feedback  or performance or anything else abnormal from my computer, so i remove them out.
 
waiting for solution of this epic
thank you verymuch.

Even I have the exact same and only issue. Everything else is perfect.

Same here :(

 

Some info for HIGH SIERRA 10.13 beta:

 

On 10.13, there is an issue where double tap and drag doesn't work. All else works.

Also as in Sierra 10.12.x, Shift+Arrow keys mutes the volume.

 

Anyway, it's obviously not fully developed as the developer is busy. However it's appreciated how well it works on High Sierra.

 

Cheers!

Hello @EMlyDinEsh. I am using Asus UX410. I'm using AsusNBFnKeys together with VoodooI2C (your other kext https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/1948-elan-focaltech-and-synaptics-smart-touchpad-driver-mac-os-x/ doesn't work for me). However, my keyboard doesn't have backlight. I also have deleted:

  • AppleIntelLpssI2C.kext
  • AppleIntelLpssI2CController.kext

 Could you help me? Thanks very much.

brightness
FN+F5 down -> ACPIDebug: "EC _Q0E enter" and "exit"
FN+F6 up -> ACPIDebug: "EC _Q0F enter" and "exit"

FN press:

Hello, I've got ux306ua, trying to get ALS to work with AsusNBFnKeys v2.6 kext and DSDT patches.

Fn+F3/4 working ok, Fn+A ALS on/off ok (via console.app).

Problem :

When I enable keyboard backlight, the screen sometimes dim to about 1/5 of max value. And then several seconds later, keyboard backlight off for no reason. When I enable ALS, keyboard backlight on and then off after several seconds. The screen backlight just stays there, no matter what current ambient light is.

 

hi, can you upload your DSDT file.

I'm trying to set keyboard lights for FN+F3/4 without success on UX430UA

 

Thx
