Now use F11 & F12 for Brightness, use F1, F2, & F3 for Volumes Control (Keyboards with same/similar layout will work with custom xml above too) Note1: Personally use SmartScroll for Trackstick scrolling with Inertia. Don't really use Touchpad, 2 fingers scrolling and tap and drag does work. Note2: Please use this beta version of ssdPRGen.sh generate SSDT.aml for Skylake system Note3: If you're installing Sierra, there's a known artifact issue on the upper left corner!
