hiiambrian Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 So I installed yosemite on my dell inspiron. everything seems to work maybe not in the way i want. but works. I just wish i could fix the brightness and battery pack on this and i would be happy. I just installed maciASL and im fairly new to this. So if you could bear with me and help me figure out how to get the battery and brightness to work that would be awesome!!!!! Thanks guys. Also youll have to give me a descriptive way of how to do it. since i am a noob right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hiiambrian Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 so what installs the kexts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted January 18, 2016 Administrators Share Posted January 18, 2016 You can use installation tools such as Kext Wizard or manually install them. For the latter: copy your kexts to /System/Library/Extensions or /Library/Extensions repair kexts permissions with the following Terminal commands sudo chmod -Rf 755 /System/Library/Extensions (or /Library/Extensions) sudo chown -Rf 0:0 /System/Library/Extensions (or /Library/Extensions) rebuild cache sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions (or /Library/Extensions) sudo kextcache -Boot -U / Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
