Hi all,
I've been trying to get a better brightness control on my x230, particularly extending the range of brightness so the minimum level of brightness can be used in a dimmed light situation (as on windows), but so far I seemed can't get AppleBacklightInjector working on my x230.
There is a working brightness control that is able to control the brightness level through the slider in System Prefs/Displays and the hotkeys on the keyboard. The issue is that the minimum level isn't dark enough to be used in a dimmed light situation.
I've been trying to get this working for a while, but whenever I put AppleBacklightInjector.kext in either /kexts/others or /L/E and rebuild the cache, the brightness control stops working and no slider showing up in System Prefs/Displays. The existence of 'SSDT-PNLF.aml' and 'AppleBacklight patch in config.plist/KernelAndKextPatches/KextsToPatch' do not change the functionality of the preexistent backlight control (with a limited range of brightness on the low side).
My question is how to get a full range control of the brightness level, either with AppleBacklightInjector or any other approaches? My debug report is attached. Thanks.
