So
Here I described the problem I had with the latest build of whatevergreen and Lilu.
I followed this guide: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...ontrol-using-applebacklightfixup-kext.218222/
With that I can finally have full brightness and the slider in settings is working just fine. Then I realised that every 1/4 of boot I got black screen and then after 3 minutes as always is gone. So I removed the SSDT-PNLF.aml but not the kext. At the next reboot I found out that I have the same brightness than before the reboot. I can't modify it because there is no slider, I thinks that is because I removed the .aml patch. For the people that haven't resolve the 3 minutes black screen yet this can be helpful.
For my case I hope in your help
Ps: I would like to have the slider and also the max brightness higher just like in the installer as described in my other post
It's already known that if you remove native brightness controls (either by omitting the SSDT-PNFL or the applebacklightfixup.kext) this issue goes away. But for most, removing native brightness controls usually breaks things like Sleep. Also makes it annoying that you can not control the brightness. It's not really a solution.
The latest version of WEG from the acidanthera Github also seemed to decrease the max brightness for me as well. I also had an issue where I would turn up the brightness and when the brightness got almost to full max, it would drop down to super dim, but if I kept increasing the brightness, it would go back up to almost full brightness, but never get there. I don't have this issue with Fraxul's version of WEG and the black screen at boot is far less frequent with his version also.
