You are attempting to use two kext to control the same device winner?
Try removing AsusACPIBackLightPanel.kext and see if that clears up the problem.

First you are talking about two different patches not one. The patch for Function keys fixes the the brightness function keys, secondly the ALS patch enable ALS.  As far as the error you will probably need declarations. In general you can take a look at the instructions for UX305FA and see the patches and ref.txt for declaration to get you in ball park. In the directions you want the section to build own dsdt/ssdt SLOW LANE. I'll attach file.
 
Good Luck

is there anyway i can disable ALS ? using a UX305FA here and everything is working fine....the ALS is work but its too aggressive.

Fnct "A" will turn it off but would require action every time. Take a look at plist I think there is an option to turn ALS off in it if memory serves me correctly. Old Fart memory.... BTW /S/L/E/ AsusNBFnKeys/plist

Hott,,

I found that on the UX305FA that the kext worked fine but the issue was the key code returned by my computer did not match the key code in the kext. Simple resolution was to patch DSDT, Rehabman has a kext ACPIDebug that will allow you to observe actual key codes of your keyboard for the function + key pair. The patches are on the first page of this post.

While OsXLatitude has made every effort to make the best product possible, manufacturers make odd changes at times and we must adapt and use patches to overcome obstacles. Please remember this is not "Apple Hardware" and if we wish to have fully supported software / hardware Windows is the only game in town.

Is your problem solved ? 

ACPIBacklight.kext causes conflict try it without ACPIBacklight.kext. Two kexts fighting for dominance of same function

jhawk

Strange. Are you sure without my kext you have CD-ROM ? Double check and confirm me. If its so then PM me for beta test so i can debug.

 

 

So you know methods used by brightness then manually edit them according to my patch and see. What are the Fn keys working and not working for you ?MlyDinEsH

Ref: fn+f5 fn+f6  fn+f7

When you hit Fn+F7 you turn off the display, then sleep via any method.

Problem:

OS-X needs a display for startup/wake thus ignoring the state imposed by Fn+F7. You can confirm same by simply using Fn+F7 + Fn+F7 (i.e. Turn of display / Turn on display) this will return normal state with functioning ALS post wake up.

I hope this helps....

Hi,

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

Work:

 

 

My kext:

ACPIBacklight.kext

ApplePS2SmartTouchPad.kext

AsusNBFnKeys.kext

EAPDFix.kext

FakeSMC.kext

IOAudioFamily.kext

NullCPUPowerManagement.kext

VoodooHDA.kext

 

 

My experience with Asus UX305FA tells me you have competing kexts. ACPIBacklight.Kext by RehaabMan needs to be removed. I would suggest you try it with the following kext. You failed to mention bootloader I use Clover.

Only four:

ApplePS2SmartTouchPad.kext

AsusNBFnKeys.kext

FakeSMC.kext

VoodooHDA.kext

Then identify what is or is not working and resolve one issue at a time. ACPIDebug by RehabMan can be usefull

hello,

I have an Asus zenbook UX31LA, I installed osx 10.10 , everything works except the keyboard backlight. Can anyone tell me what is the procedure to enable the keyboard backlight? I have already a pathced dsdt to make sound and battery indicator work. Do I need just one more dsdt patch for this or anything else?

thanks

I have an Asus UX305FA the following patches were used by myself, everything works with exception of WIFI Fn Key please note UX305FA fails to have backlight. However, I have been told it works on LN variant with backlight keyboard.

You need to adjust scrolling speed in SysPref | Trackpad

If you like to use MacIASL for local repository here is the .maciasl for current patches

Asus Zenbook UX305FA

Ref: Als.patch, AsusNBFnKeys 2.5 ApplePS2SmartTouchPad v 4.4 (latest)

TouchPad remains to sensitive at default values for Elan... Unintentional drags and clicks. Palm detection poor / kill touchpad if typing option ?

Note have not adjusted via plist

AsusNBFnKeys should trip SysPref | Display | ALS checkbox on status change. Reduce brightness to about 6 (dark for old man) in a dark room, desk light only 250 halogen bulb. Problem fails to raise as ambient light increases even with led flashlight indirect light at sensor/camera. Seems slow to react, balancing act to prevent overreaction I assume. Also observed failed  to give onscreen feedback of ALS on (auto). as other function keys. Resolved ALS_HAWELL still no onscreen display to indicate status.

ALS.patch compiles fine. 

Thanks for your help wanted to get you feedback asap. As I noted old fart due for cataract surgery next couple months, post allergy season...

Update: Just noted AsusNBFnKeys  error on shutdown  cannot find ALSS repeats numerous times. No ALS-patch in place test via install media clover with updated DSDT. However, AsusNBFnKey  2.5 kext in place. Will everyone patch ALS or do we need trap?

Would be glad to test and provide feedback if it would help.

Sorry missed the click. Ref ALS patch error:

Send me your untouched DSDT and edited DSDT so i can take a look at this problem.

As requested:

Howdy,

Problem:

^^^^ATKD.SKBL Uknown Method 4 errors from DSDT iasl compiler (MacIASL)

Not Declared? External ?

There is a method SLKB (Yosemitie)

Hi,

is there a URL for MaciASL we can use to ensure the most up to date patch is being used when we are patching?

Thank's

jhawk

I have an Asus UX305FA purchased from Microsoft to avoid bloat ware.

I have the Elan touchpad on my unit and use SmartTouchPad and AsusNBFnKeys.

The driver picks up Elan fine and seems to work as described after changing defaults

like scrolling to get an initial value. However, I have fat fingers and as the night becomes

morning my light touch has come and gone. This trackpad is hyper sensitive. System Preferences |

Trackpad has no sensitivity setting for touch pressure required. Is it possible to change value in plist?

Thanks
