thanks for the link uman ; it was v informative, as was the asus link too. it didnt work though but maybe someone else over at insanely will be able to provide more insight into a hp dv3xxx hex conflict b/w apple...frambuffer.kext and the dsdt on 10.5

I am using 10.6, but the changes for apple...framebuffer were relevant and appropriate. it just didnt change anything, which leads me to believe that something needs to change in the dsdt, because the Fn + Fx works for other keys like media and sleep (which doesnt actually work either, but it tries)
