[medjahriabed]

Ah yeah , I got confused reading the guide

I patched this , but nothing happens :
into method label _Q0E replace_content
begin
// Brightness Down\n
Notify(\_SB.PCI0.LPCB.PS2M, 0x0205)\n
Notify(\_SB.PCI0.LPCB.PS2M, 0x0285)\n
end;
into method label _Q0F replace_content
begin // Brightness Up\n
Notify(\_SB.PCI0.LPCB.PS2M, 0x0206)\n
Notify(\_SB.PCI0.LPCB.PS2M, 0x0286)\n
end;

No "Problem Reporting" files attached.
Read FAQ, "Problem Reporting" again. Carefully. Attach all requested files/output.

Use the gen_debug.sh tool mentioned in the FAQ, that way it is less likely you'll omit something.

You're notifying the wrong object.
As per brightness guide, you should be sending the Notify to the keyboard device, not the mouse device.
You wrote PS2M instead of PS2K.

Changed it to PS2K but still nothing

Your notify codes are wrong for ApplePS2SmartTouchPad.kext.
Read the guide carefully. It has correct codes for that kext.

Note: You should not mix VoodooPS2Controller.kext and ApplePS2SmartTouchPad.kext. Your kextcache proves you installed both,... which is wrong.

Can you link it ?

So I installed ACPI keyboard , applied the patch , but Fn brightness down sets the brightness up and Fn brightness up sets the brightness up too but also sets the volume down

Problem solved , used the second patch
