I don't recall, but I think both. It pretty much works now (both shutdown & restart), but occasionally fails. I am no longer using EvoReboot. I have been using Conti's patched ChamRC4 (see here: http://osx86.sojugarden.com/2010/03/...ack_v1-0-r111/) which includes the rekursor restart fixes. I'm not sure if it's the DSDT changes I made, or the Conti RC4, or both that (mostly) solves the issue for me.

But since Fn key to adjust brightness is working, I don't care much about this.
I have reasonable values in IORegistryExplorer, but the slider doesn't work for me either. I believe it's because AppleIntegratedFrameBuffer is trying to directly adjust the brightness. I too don't care, since my function keys work (but not the ones with the Apple Sun icon).

If the Acer is using AMW0 for this, then you may need to disable that part.

I see you identified a lot of acronym/variable used in your DSDT. Nice. kizwan
Thanks. I only wish there were more standards for DSDT names.
