i have heard of a special VoodooPS2Controller.kext which apparently works better on alps system

have not used it myself as i have no such hardware

also there is no VoodooInput plugin with it, you may or may not need it, you will have to trial and error and see what you come up with

im having a struggle with this Backlight Keys, Backlight slider works its just the key which im having trouble with.

assume you would use this:
SSDT-KEY-DELL-WN09.dsl
and make sure of your path from your DSDT

I will give this ago and see happens, my Brightness keys F11 and F12 can be configured to work without the FN button or with the FN button in the BIOS. not sure if this will affect this SSDT though but will give it ago.

 

[VioletDragon]

Just an update, I managed to fix the Trackpad jumping problem by forcing the Trackpad to be seen as PS/2 with a SSDT. I've also got one of function keys working which is F11 just need to get F12 working.
