[Guide] Laptop backlight control using AppleBacklightFixup.kext

Hi RehabMan,
I follow the guide carefully but seems like it's not enough.
Brightness working only if you wake PC from sleep.

Dell e7470 Bios 1.12.4
Clover 4097

No PNLF patch in SSDT.

- SSDT-PNLF.aml in ACPI/patched
- AppleBacklight patch in config.plist/KernelAndKextPatches/KextsToPatch I used xcode not a CC

Does ApplePanelRawBrightness under PNLF in ioreg change when you manipulate the brightness slider in SysPrefs->Displays?
 
Sorry brightness slider move in SysPref, let me check ioReg.
 
no, it's not moving. It changed once from 0x56c to 0x12c, but only once.

What is "not moving"?
If you mean "ApplePanelRawBrightness is not changing when moving the slider", make sure you update the ioreg view with Registry->Update Now (or Command+U).

It's changing when I refresh ioreg.

But no change in the brightness level to correspond?
If so, try patching EDID as per post #1 (your ioreg shows you have not).

I removed the PNLF patch from the DSDT and these are the results after it. Any help?
