Have the system almost 100%, can't seem to figure out asusSMC + DSDT for this system. I can patch but can't compile. Asus DSDT guide isn't written on their wiki or github. I feel that I'm stumbing on a very easy hiccup.

Audio keys work, but keyboard and display don't and the sleep key is an instant cold reboot. print screen beside fn keys is brightness up.

you seem to be missing your hpet and xosi.aml files...

should not be using a DSDT.aml with opencore

attached is the aml file I use for keyboard shortcuts (my laptop does not have keyboard light though) but it may give you an idea on how to set this up

also the list of find and replace entries

Code:

Thank you for the quick response. I know have both the hpet and xosi files. I can see keyboard backlight controls in control center but the slider doesn't change anything. I think the keys may work but the os can't control the backlight yet. I've attached the new efi.

you haven't added your own SSDT or Find and Replace entries, which is probably why it is not working

Did that, used yours as a template. Airplane Mode and Display Keys now work, Backlight Keys may work, as they now make a sound when tapping. Although the OS overlay doesn't show as it does with the volume or the display backlight adjustments, although airplane mode doesn't show so it could be similar to that.

The fn keys or the keyboard backlight slider in the control panel has no effect on the keyboard backlight. I think it's an issue of not changing the backlight up and down, but turning it on or initializing it.

may be an issue with the kext:
github.com

Issues · hieplpvip/AsusSMC

A VirtualSMC plugin provides native macOS support for ALS, keyboard backlight and Fn keys on Asus laptops - Issues · hieplpvip/AsusSMC
github.com github.com

or you may need to add the extra info in the SSDT for the keyboard brightness up and down if not present and you will also need to add in the 2 extra Find and Replace entries in your config.plist
