Backlight issues on xps 14
From the screen shot you provide, it is clear you didn't change the code as we discussed.
I have tried replacing
Method (_BQC, 0, NotSerialized)\n {\n Return(^^DD02._BQC())\n }\n
with
Method(_BQC)
{
Return (\_SB.PCI0.LPCB.EC0.BRTS)
}
so this is what i am patching..
#Maintained by: RehabMan for: Laptop Patches
#graphics_PNLF-ACPI100.txt
# This patch enables the brightness slider in SysPrefs->Displays
# and will also enable activation of sleep mode by closing
# the laptop lid.
#
# This patch works well for laptops that have working
# ACPI methods with 64-or more levels (100 is common)
# for good support for Windows 2012 (Windows 8)
#
# Based on information from the normal laptop DSDT methods,
# optimized for use with ACPIBacklight.kext
#
# Note: This patch should be applied to the DSDT or SSDT that defines
# your integrated graphics device (always at _ADR 0x00020000)
# applied to one of the SSDTs, not DSDT.
#
# Note: Intended to be used with Windows 2012, so this should be done...
# if you previously patched for Windows 2006, undo that patch!
# sometimes in Scope (_SB.PCI0)

end;
This generates a dsdt error of View attachment 161440
I am compiling from a fresh dsdt.dsl
Many thanks
