Hi Akira!

I have discovered that feature (I think about LCD Brightness)=2C but =

I thought=2C there are others=2E Brightness works fine (that like you de=
scribed)=2E
Is any chance for simply volume control or another acpi buttons=3F

=3E Hi Marcin=2C
=3E =

=3E Thank you so much for your feedback!
=3E Here is the complete procedure how to use =26 test my patch=2E
=3E =23 I think you have already done step 1 to 3=2C but please let me m=
ake
=3E =23 sure what you have done =3A-)
=3E =

=3E 1=2E Apply the patch=2E
=3E   =23 cd /sys/de   =23 patch =3C acpi=5Fasus=2Ec=2Ediff
=3E   =23 cd /sys/i386/compile/=24YOUR=5FCONFIG
=3E   =23 make modules =26=26 make instal
=3E =

=3E 2=2E add following line to /boot/loader=2Econf
=3E   acpi=5Fasus=5Fload=3D=22YES=22
=3E =

=3E 3=2E reboot
=3E =

=3E 4=2E After reboot=2C try the following command=3A
=3E   =23 sysctl hw=2Eacpi=2Easus
=3E   =2E=2E=2E will shows a list of customizable values for your ASUS l=
aptop=2E
=3E   For instance=2C you might see the line
=3E =

=3E     hw=2Eacpi=2Easus=2Elcd=5Fbrightness=3A 15 (or whatever a value)
=3E =

=3E   which describes your LCD brightness (the value will be 0 to 15=2C =

=3E I guess)=2E
=3E   You can change the brightness by following command
=3E =

=3E   =23 sysctl hw=2Eacpi=2Easus=2Elcd=5Fbrightness=3D1
=3E =

=3E   which will reduce the brightness=2E
=3E =

=3E   Well=2C some laptop allows us to use hot-keys (ex=2E =5BFn=5D+=5BF=
3=5D) to
=3E   change the brightness=2C or use other ACPI related functions=2E
=3E   On my EeePC=2C I can change the brightness through =5BFn=5D+=5BF3=5D=
 and =5BF4=5D
=3E   after appling my patch=2E But it depends on the implementation of
=3E   ACPi on each laptop=2C how the hot-key is treated under ACPI=2E
=3E =

=3E Please let us (freebsd-acpi=40freebsd=2Eorg) know whether my patch w=
orked
=3E on your A6F=2C so that we can go ahead and commit the patch to CVS H=
EAD=2E
=3E Your comment/feedback is really important for me to continue working=

=3E on ASUS ACPI support=2E
=3E =

=3E And the most important thing is that=2C I wish you could have fun wi=
th
=3E this patch =3A-)
=3E =

=3E Thanks=2C
