El Capitan Beta with Dell XPS 13 9343 (Early 2015 Model)

[RehabMan]

Thank you! I think I have them sorted now and 'installed'. Seems the only remaining issue is the loss of backlight control via the function keys. I did have this working with my previous set of SSDT/DSDT. I do have your latest VoodoPS2 kext installed as well.

Patching for backlight keys is covered in the backlight guide.

I tried to apply the patch again as referenced in post #852 (BRT6 method) which worked prior to Sierra with no luck. Safe to say this no longer applies and a new method needs to be discovered?

Your BRT6 method in ACPI/patched/DSDT.aml is not patched.

Your BRT6 method in ACPI/patched/DSDT.aml is not patched.

Correct. This patch does not find anything to patch in the DSDT:

Method (BRT6, 2, NotSerialized)
{
If (LEqual (Arg0, One))
{
Notify (^^LPCB.PS2K, 0x10)
}


If (And (Arg0, 0x02))
{
Notify (^^LPCB.PS2K, 0x20)
}
}

Correct. This patch does not find anything to patch in the DSDT:

Method (BRT6, 2, NotSerialized)
{
If (LEqual (Arg0, One))
{
Notify (^^LPCB.PS2K, 0x10)
}


If (And (Arg0, 0x02))
{
Notify (^^LPCB.PS2K, 0x20)
}
}

That is not a patch. That is a code snippet.

How about this?

into method label BRT6 replace_content
begin
If (Arg0 == 1) { Notify (^^LPCB.PS2K, 0x10) }\n
If (Arg0 == 2) { Notify (^^LPCB.PS2K, 0x20) }\n
end;

If (Arg0 == 2) { Notify (^^LPCB.PS2K, 0x20) }\n
end;

Nevermind, I got it. Duh, a manual search and replace with:

Method (BRT6, 2, NotSerialized)
{
If (LEqual (Arg0, One))
{
Notify (^^LPCB.PS2K, 0x0406)
}

If (And (Arg0, 0x02))
{
Notify (^^LPCB.PS2K, 0x0405)
}
}

Do you see any other corrections that should be made in the DSDT attached now? Thanks again.
