tikizondo94 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Im back, Got another dell laptop here and ive had some decent success getting it up and running. I have almost everything working except for display backlight/brightness controls. Ive tried the usual SSDT-PNLF and kexts to patch and AppleBacklightinjector.kext. In display it would show the brightness control slider but the second you clicked on it the screen would go black. And it wasnt easy to get up and going again lol. If anyone has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated Attached is my current clover folder. CLOVER.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted September 30, 2018 Moderators Share Posted September 30, 2018 Don't see SSDT-PNLF.aml in /EFI/Clover/ACPI/Patched Try this, replaced into /EFI/Clover/ACPI/Patched Had to remove PNLF patch in your DSDT as well. 7559.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tikizondo94 Posted September 30, 2018 Author Share Posted September 30, 2018 Awesome! Thank you @Jake Lo, Ill give this a shot when i get back to my rig. Also, ive noticed my trackpad has issues. I can use the trackpad with minimal settings. But in system preferences it doesnt show. Using the usual VoodooPS2 kext for usual trackpad functions. Any ideas?

tikizondo94 Posted September 30, 2018 Author Share Posted September 30, 2018 Ok, Replaced with attached DSDT and added SSDT-PNLF. System still boots fine but still no display brightness options. It seems backlight is showing in NVRAM. Attached are my debugging files. Send me Pauls-MacBook-Pro-111.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking1304 Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Looks like you do not have AppleBacklightInjector.kext. Copy to /L/E, rebuild permissions and reboot. AppleBacklightInjector.kext.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tikizondo94 Posted September 30, 2018 Author Share Posted September 30, 2018 Its currently in my L/E folder. But i did notice its not showing up in my kextcache logs. Wonder if its it due to fakesmc being in clover/kexts/other? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking1304 Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Try to rebuild cache again. You should see something like this in your log: Kext with invalid signatured (-67062) allowed: <OSKext 0x7fe82370dd80 [0x7fff974bc8e0]> { URL = "AppleBacklightInjector.kext/ -- file:///Library/Extensions/", ID = "org.rehabman.injector.AppleBacklightInjector" } My FakeSMC.kext is in Clover/kexts/Other and my AppleBacklightInjector.kext is in /L/E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted September 30, 2018 Moderators Share Posted September 30, 2018 also try sudo nvram -c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tikizondo94 Posted September 30, 2018 Author Share Posted September 30, 2018 It seems to rebuild in the cache, but during reboot, the first boot crashes then it reboots a second time normally. But without any Brightness controls. odd. lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted September 30, 2018 Moderators Share Posted September 30, 2018 post debug files HibernationFixup.kext won't work without Lilu.kext in the same directory BrcmNonPatchRAM2, not needed if you're using BrcmPatchRAM2.kext VoodooPS2Controller is from Rehabman for Synaptics? If so, preference pane should work. Might have to make sure Battery status is working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
