Yes, you said your edits didn't compile. But still it's useful to me to see the edits. I wasn't able to look at this yesterday, but should be able today. I had a strange result yesterday that may be useful for a clue as to why brightness controls are such an issue for Darwin.

I was editing my DSDT to take out parts that were specific for older parts of Windows. I also enabled for Darwin, anything that was specific to Windows 2006. When I rebooted, everything seemed pretty much the same, except I no longer had the brightness controls, which are mapped to the Fn-up, and fn-down arrows.

So I plan to analyze what changed, and then see if I can make them come back. I then may have something useful for you to try.
