EDIT 2: so I realized that the min and max brightness values have nothing to do with the brightness levels EDIT 3: okay weird thing is I get 3 extra backlight levels while on AC power but only 2 extra when on battery?! 8 hours ago, onejay09 said: the slider should come up with the dsdt/ssdt patches, the injector just atatches to the lcd Mind telling me where to find these patches, as I tried the ones in @RehabMan's laptop repo before but I believe it is for intel gpus only.

M3G4DR01D Posted April 16, 2018 Author Share Posted April 16, 2018 (edited) 10 hours ago, onejay09 said: no the backlight in config.plist is so you dont boot with a black screen, as brightness will set to 0 at boot without it. the 4 extra levels can be fixed by changing the values used in the injector, lets get it working first. hows the config.plist? So I set config.plist/SystemParameters/BacklightLevel to null (empty), and guess what? now the brightness level is saved after boot!
