Hello @RehabMan I am using Dell 5559 i7 laptop and almost finish to make it perfect hackintosh. I am currently using High Sierra 10.3.3 and still have some problems and i want to fix them with your help
1) Brightness keys are not working
2) From system preferences > Display > Brightness slider > I can move all to dark with level 0? (How can I stay to at least 1)
3) Goes into Sleep but blank screen on wake and need to force restart by holding power button.
4) Realtek RTS5169

1) Brightness keys are not working:
- As almost tried everything but cannot find keys.. As per your suggestion I tried https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...ghtinjector-kext.218222/page-128#post-1710820 .Placed into /ACPI/patched/SSDT-XOSI.aml but how can did fix the brightness keys? Can you explain me little more on this?

4) Realtek RTS5169 - I think I am using Realtek RTS5169 hardware and I don't know it is supported in Mac OS or not.

Read here for link to key mapping guide:

Black at lowest level is normal... as per Apple design.

3) Goes into Sleep but blank screen on wake and need to force restart by holding power button.

Google might provide some help (it is probably not supported).

Thank's @RehabMan and @rafigh89 which solved my wake problem using this guide https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...ade-to-high-sierra.237050/page-5#post-1637335


Now, only one issue with brightness keys. I have _Q66 Method in my DSDT but when I insert the brightness keys code and compile I get 1 error with "Object does not exist (HKNO)", I have patched other necessary as per you guide. Can somebody help me.
Code:
Method (_Q66, 0, NotSerialized)  // _Qxx: EC Query
            { 
                Store(HKNO, Local0)
                If (LEqual(Local0,7))
                {
                    // Brightness Down
                    Notify(\_SB.PCI0.LPCB.PS2K, 0x0405)
                }
                If (LEqual(Local0,8))
                {
                    // Brightness Up
                    Notify(\_SB.PCI0.LPCB.PS2K, 0x0406)
                }
                If (LEqual(Local0,4))
                {
                    // Mirror toggle
                    Notify(\_SB.PCI0.LPCB.PS2K, 0x046e)
                }
            }
Before
Code:
 Method (_Q66, 0, NotSerialized)  // _Qxx: EC Query
            {
                If (LNotEqual (ECRD, One))
                {
                    Return (Zero)
                }

                NEVT ()
                Return (Zero)
            }

Why are you trying to patch _Q66 as if you have an HP?
Your computer is Dell.
Your brightness keys are likely handled in BRT6. Read the (brightness key) guide carefully.

Just tried the BRT6 method but didn't work for me!! I just did patch, do i need to reconfigure my keys because I don't understand this line :
Code:
Note: This patch also includes support for the "mirror toggle" function, where the standard PS2 code is 0e6e/0eee (make/break).
Can you please explain me what does it mean and 0e6e and 0eee mean?
