Brightness Control Keys

[SpiGAndromeda]

Hi,

is there a way to use the brightnes control keys: Fn + arrow lef/right?
I already tried with carabiner but with no success.

Hey,
I have already patched the DSDT for fn brightness keys..
But if it doesn't work for you then can you check with following guide? https://tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-patching-dsdt-ssdt-for-laptop-backlight-control.152659

Best.

Ahh I see (sorry that I overread it). I didn't apply the DSDT and used my own, because I have slighly different model: A515-51-592H. It's without a dedicated Nvidia card.

I just allied you DSDT and everything is working excellent. By the way: great work of yours!

One thing would be very nice: Could you provide the steps and patches you applied to your native DSDT, so people like me (with a slighlty different mode) could patch their own DSDT (I already did with average success, Catalina working but a bunch of errors in the boot log)? It would be also nice if a BIOS update is released.

Hey,
Sure, I'm Currently working on OpenCore Bootloader EFI for this laptop with updated BIOS. also with that I'll release the steps to patch the newer DSDT as well.

Best.

Hey, how do you set the keys to adjust the screen brightness on a laptop keyboard ?? Right now it's fn + f12 and fn + key pause. My bootloader is opencore. In my laptop acer v3-371, the shortcut from adjusting the screen brightness on the keyboard is the shortcut fn + left arrow key and fn + arrow right key.
