dustpuppy Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Hi there, I'm looking for some help. I've tried to install Lion several way's, the easiest way with this method: http://tonycrapx86.blogspot.com/2011/07/xfail-multifail-install-os-x-107-lion.html ( btw, I updated from 10.6.7, not from 10.6.8, since 10.6.8. gives me problems with networking.) Smooth installation. But, (there is allway's one) whatever method I use, my screen brightness drops during boot time to approximately 60%. I can get it up to maybe 65% via the control panel, with the slider control up to max, but that's it. From searching the net I figure it has something to do with 32-bit drivers for the graphics card, but that is as far as I get with this. The rest seems to be working perfectly. Any hints in the right direction would be much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entirely my own fault, I placed the kext in my Extra folder, ran the EDP to rebuild mKext, and rebooted. And spent the next hours re-installing OSX. Could not even boot single user. The problem was that after installing Lion, I ran multifail, wich went fine, but in combination with the kext's already residing in /Extra, running EDP wasn't such a great idea. Learned a lot though. The Kext did help though. Even with only a part of the booting proces completed, I didn't see the nasty dimming anymore. So it was the cure, now I only need to give it in a proper way. Not today, maybe tomorrow, or maybe I will just wait for EDP 2.0. Thanks for your help, Leon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldoo Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Maybe interesting to know: The brightness issue is solved when starting/restarting. But when waking up from sleep in about 50% of the cases I get the brightness issue again. Also it's not possible anymore after that to adjust brightness via the keyboard. Restarting resolves the issue though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bronxteck Posted September 13, 2011 Administrators Share Posted September 13, 2011 some times going to sleep and waking the machine clears it up as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
