Thank you very much! It actually worked, now i have fully functional hackintosh, thanks to you! Man, you are amazing! 

 You might have some hotpatching through clover going on. Do you mind zipping up and attaching your Clover folder ? You don't have anything else in the way of mods going on in your main DSDT.

Hey, you are loading both the ElanSmartTouchPad AND this AsusFNKeys kext, right ?

No, I am loading only ElanSmartTouchPad kext, it already contains fn keys patch. I use it's built-in FN Keys patch, cause with it i don't need to hold "FN" button to raise volume or brightness, f1-f12 works as function keys.

I also tried AsusFNKeys kext, but it couldn't get work keyboard backlight control, so i removed it.

Hmmm, where do u get v208 ? I can't find anything beyond v207 out there.

What are u using to edit DSDTs ?

However, I believe that our Q500a shipped with the ARB195, combined AR9285+BT so should be good there.

Feel free to grab my DSDT above. It's heavily commented source. Just use FileMerge (XCode) to add what makes sense.

 

Good luck, lmk.

Does your keyboard backlight work with Fn+F3 and Fn+F4 ? I can't get mine to work at all.

No, everything works, using this kext, except keyboard backlight control.

What version of the BIOS do you have installed. I am on v207.

BIOS ver.208.

I found no patches in your DSDT. I fixed the one compilation error, just search for "FIX:" and you'll find my mod.

No patches because i couldn't save DSDT after editing (see errors). 

You do not have the variable "KBLV" in your DSDT, you have "KBLD" instead. You need to either change KBLV to KBLD in the patch or KBLD in your DSDT to KBLV, your choice. The PWKB variable is also from the K/B backlight patch just like KBLV. Only PWKB is actually defined in the patch. You must have included the part of the patch with the reference but left out the definition. Your 5th error is just a problem with scope, bad placement of the code. In any event, this patch was not at all in the DSDT which you attached here. This one looks to be an original/freshly extracted DSDT. Heck, the error that I just fixed would have prevented any of those others from even getting a chance to happen.

 

Lmk if you need more help to compile. I've been hacking at this for some time and still no K/B backlight control.

Thanks! I changed KBLV to KBLD in patch, but there is still no result  . I removed PWKB, cause i couldn't save DSDT with it. I don't understand what i can do with it, i am new to this.

Hi everyone. I got FN keys work fine, but I'm getting bunch of errors and warning, compiling DSDT with 4-levels keyboard brightness patch. Here they are (i will also attach screenshot):

Can anyone help me solve this problem?
