Fn HotKey and ALS sensor driver for Asus Notebooks

[hectorox]

I wanted to add the ALS patch for my dsdt, but I am missing the method GCBL, is it possible that this method is named differently on my dsdt?

Hi feartech,

 

AsusSMC kext is not working for me. I managed to get EMlyDinEsH kext for fn keys working on my side (just to let everyone know: This kext from EMlyDinEsH is still working on the newest Catalina release!)

 

I wanted to try to get the other kext for display backlight control from EMlyDinEsH to work but I am stuck at his patch for dsdt that needs a method called GCBL. In my dsdt there is no such method... If someone can help please let me know
