Update: after waking from sleep, the video no longer appears in the display... It goes to the HDMI device with the same resolution from the display... oh lord
Perfect, I just didn't know that DualLink set is the default, so it took me some time and a lot of help from people like you to discover I should set it to 0...You should definitely never use dual-link, as your screen is 1366x768 (correct?). Dual-link is to be used only for higher resolution displays, as those displays use a different cable from the motherboard to the LVDS display (a dual-link cable).
In my MaciASL configuration it checks... If the package size is too large it gives me a remark and if it is too short it gives me an error...Compiling will not check that the package size is too large. It is not an error. For example, this is valid code although not acceptable for _DSM return.
I have no idea why, but each entry inside Method (_DSM) seem to count as two, at first I tried to manually insert the number of entries in Package and always got remarks/errors, then I removed it and let the app calculate it. And the result is exactly two times the number of entries.In the returned package there are 4 total entries, the last two uninitialized. OS X won't like that and the compiler will not complain. It is valid code, but not valid for _DSM.
For the moment I'm dealing with it with Brightness Slider app, but I don't know yet if adding a translucent black rectangle over the screen saves energy, I believe it does but it might not...It is just taking the "mobileness" out of the equation, so no backlight adjustment/manipulation...
I know but I tried going up to 4648 (the value used to be shown at AppleBacklightAtBoot, and also given that 4650 was the max brightness in Windows) without effect, the maximum is still very low, so whatever else I could try from that topic would only help me at controlling and not actually at reaching my full backlight...I'm suggesting you try it and start experimenting with the different values. There is much more control with ACPIBacklight as you can use a different range of values (you don't have to stick with the 0-0x710 range as you do with AppleBacklight).
