Thank you uman for the dsdt.
I see you apply fix for restart/shutdown. Before applying the fix, which one do you have problem, shutdown or restart or both? I have problem with restart & currently using openhaltrestart.kext to fix the issue.
I added PNLF (backlight) in my dsdt but it didn't do anything. The slider in System Preferences always set to maximum & I can't change it. It will always back to maximum position whenever I try to change it. Brightness/backlight doesn't change at all. It make sense since in IORegistryExplorer, min & max value is 0x00. But since Fn key to adjust brightness is working, I don't care much about this.
I have added uninc's DSDT for _BCL, _BCM & _BQC in my dsdt. Will know if dimming working or not in windows after flashing it to BIOS.
This kinda difficult because it doesn't exist in my dsdt before. Looks like my acer doesn't use 0x86, 0x87 to control brightness.
As for battery, our machine don't have smart battery (we have control method battery). So trying to apply smart battery in dsdt (to get it detected in Mac OS X) will be waste of time. This what I learn when trying to do it.
I didn't apply PWRB in my dsdt because it seems mine will be "generated" by SLPB. So, in IORegistryExplorer it will list "power-button" instead PWRB. I think it works in Mac OS X because when pressing the power button, I will be presented with sleep, restart & shutdown button.
I see you identified a lot of acronym/variable used in your DSDT. Nice.
