[Guide] Laptop backlight control using AppleBacklightFixup.kext

RehabMan said:
You failed to install the kext correctly. Easy to see in your kextcache output:
Kext rejected due to improper filesystem permissions: <OSKext 0x7fa7dfc92780 [0x7fff912cb8e0]> { URL = "AppleBacklightFixup.kext/ -- file:///Library/Extensions/", ID = "com.hieplpvip.AppleBacklightFixup" }
AppleBacklightFixup.kext does not authenticate; omitting.

See FAQ for correct kext installation procedures:
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/faq-read-first-laptop-frequent-questions.164990/

Also, why do you have a KextsToPatch entry for AppleBacklight in your config.plist? You will find no mention of it in post #1.

Note also...
Your kextcache output proves kexts are not installed correctly.
All kexts you need must be installed to the system volume.
Read post #2 of the Clover guide for details:

Must read carefully...

Thanx for the reply. I found it already today and as far as I can see, sorted all the problems out. I also disabled the patch in KextsToPatch. Still the same thing. Slider works correctly only after sleep.

I see no fake ALS (SSDT-ALS0.aml).

Now I have only FakeSMC and Realtek lan driver in my clover kexts folder, everything else is in /L/E
I do not have an ambient light sensor installed on my laptop, do I need fake ALS?

Why do you think FakeSMC.kext is not a "kext you need"?
As per post #1, need for fake ALS has nothing to do with whether you have a real ALS or not.

Changed everything you advised. Also used your FakeSMC and added ALS0, still slider not working after boot.
Added new debug files.

you should still keep your essential kexts in clover/kexts/other as well

Look into options provided for SSDT-PNLF in SSDT-RMCF.BKLT.
You will need to do some reading of the comments and code.

Also, please fix your profile as per FAQ:

I just don't understand, if there would be something wrong with SSDT-PNLF the slider would not work at all. But I mean, it works perfectly after sleep. It feels that something is not loaded at the right time or loaded wrong. All programming I know is JS and stuff, but this is quite new to me, so I would really like to do it once, because I know it will be painful...

SSDT-RMCF.BKLT has options that affect what SSDT-PNLF._INI does.

So this are the comments I get, as far as I understand and it looks like errors...
Sorry, if I say something stupid... I'm learning
