ASUS EEE1000H Hotkeys Enabler (improved version)

As I was not satisfied with the functionality of the original hotkey enabler, I decided to make a modified version.

Download latest version:

The file is now hosted on Mediafire … so it should not get deleted after 30 days.
http://www.mediafire.com/?nyzmw52wumg

Changes:

0.4

• AutoLocation script now switches the location based on the best known hotspot and not on the first one
• AutoLocation script now growls the new location
• new script: iTunes - Play / Pause
• new script: iTunes - Next Track
• new script: iTunes - Previous Track
• new script: Battery / AC notification
• new script: Presentation Mode
• new script: Lock Screen
• HotkEee app now shows more descriptive script names
• AutoLocation settings can be configured in preferences of HotkEee app
• change of BT hotkey action can be unlocked in HotkEee preferences for non-BT devices
• new icon of HotkEee app

0.3a

• fixed broken VolUp script
• VolMute script now saves current volume and restores it when mute key is pressed again
• removed 5px right space in TileWindows script

0.3

• sleep on lid close enabled (was missing in last version)
• modified kext to be loadable with 10.5.7
• the bluetooth menu extra was not loaded after boot when bluetooth was turned off
• new AutoLocation script to change the Network Location depending on the availlable WiFi networks
• new HotkEee application to configure the hotkey actions in a more convenient way
• separated WiFi and Bluetooth toggle
• removed no longer needed audio and ethernet fixes

0.2

• corrected post- and preflight installer scripts
• metapackage now includes the subpackages (sorry)

0.1

• Removed CardReader and Camera ON/OFF as they have no significant influence on battery life.
• Growl notification are no longer handled by growlnotify but by GrowlHelperApp. Now they have proper icons and can be configured in Growl preferences
• No more need to edit the kext to modify hotkey settings. (see below)
• Simulation of the Volume Bezel. (see below for Growl settings)
• New and improved scripts
• Added Attensic LAN driver fix
• no more need for: Audeee, sleepwatcher, growlnotify

Availlable Functions:

Hibernate

Start hibernation

WirelessToggle

Toggle between BT / WiFi / both. This is done via MacOS functions and not via direct hardware access.

WiFiToggle

Toggle WiFi ON/OFF via MacOS functions

BluetoothToggle

Toggle BT ON/OFF via Hardware functions

DisplayToggle

Toggle the primary display in dual display mode and deactivate mirror mode when activated

PresentationMode

Toggle special power management settings for presentations

AudioToggle

Toggle between speaker and headphones output

VolDn/Up/Mute

Volume functions (see below for instructions on how to simulate the Volume Bezel)

ScaleScreen

Interpolate the screen resolution to 1280x800 to access controls of too big windows. This will have effect on all applications that are started after pressing the hotkey.

TileWindows

The two windows of the foremost application will be tiles vertically. This can be used to simulate a 2-pane Finder.

ActivityMonitor

Launches the Activity Monitor app or quits it, if it was already running.

iTunes

Play/Pause and Next/Prev Track control of iTunes

LockScreen

Switch to login window to lock your mac

AutoLocation

When turning on WiFi the script tries to change the network location depending on the availlable networks

Modifying a Hotkey:

All hotkeys are mapped to special symlinks. The Fn keys point to the symlinks f01.sh - f12.sh and the silver keys to silver1.sh - silver4.sh. These symllinks are located in

/Acpi4Asus/launchers

To change a hotkey configuration, you just have to re-create the symlink to point to the desired script. This way you can also map your own scripts to the hotkeys - you just have to modify the symlink. There is no more need to edit the kext.

To change a hotkey configuration, you just have to launch the new HotkEee app. You can set up everything there…

Automatically set Network Location when activating WiFi

With this function you can check for availlable wireless networks and change your network location depending on them. You may ask what this is usefull for. I use it to automatically switch my location between home, work and university as all of them have different proxy settings configured.

For this to work, you have to create a different network locations for every w-lan router you want to connect to. Then you have to name the location:

ssid xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx

ssid

SSID of the wireless network

xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx

BSSID (mac address) of the router

Whenever you activate WiFi the script will check for availlable networks, order them by RSSI and change the location according to the best known network.

Growl Notifications

There is an issue with the init script which prevents the hotkeys enabler from registering with growl. To enable the growl support you have to run the init script once:

/Acpi4Asus/scripts/init.sh

Volume Bezel:

The simulate the MacOS Volume Bezel you have to apply the following settings to the Volume notification in growl preferences:

This is great news, thank you!!!

I tried it right away and run into a lot of problems (knowing that I had already installed successfully the older version):

First the preflight script aborts during install: I think it does not have the rights needed to move the ACPI4ASUS.kext (need sudo).
When deleting/moving the directories, dsdt.aml and kext it starts.
But then it stops again with postflight execution problem.

When opening the mpkg with Pacifist it seems that all the install pkgs are missing (or is it normal that the mpkg file is only 10KB with all the included tools)…

Keep us posted, I'm really looking forward to testing this…

Cheers,

Nik

elParkeur,

Would you mind sharing (or sending me directly) the source code (XCode project I suppose) for the Acpi4Asus kext?
I'm working on a fan control app and I can't figure out how to write to those ACPI ports…
(I'd like to compare to the Linux kernel driver that's floating around,
because somehow I can't figure out how to port the linux functions (in, outb, …)

Your help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks,

Nik

Great!!!!

elParkeur! Could you tell me how to on & off wifi by dsdt.dsl

I'm trying to modify dsdt.dsl.

because when I click the sleep menu, sometimes kernel panic occurs immediately.

I found some code inside dsdt.dsl (generated by DSDT_Patcher1.0.1e)
// http://www.infinitemac.com/f7/various-dsdt-mods-t1960/

Method (WLDS, 1, Serialized) //wireless set
                        {
                            Return (OWLS (Arg0))
                        }

                        Method (WLDG, 0, Serialized) // wireless get
                        {
                            Return (OWLG ())
                        }

but I don't know what to do that….

I just want to on & off wifi by any Fn+key or silver key.

thank you

WiFi on/off does not work based on the dsdt.aml. I tried lot's of things but none of them worked. In my modified hotkey enabler I disabled the BT and WiFi functionality in the dsdt.aml and used software functions instead.

Do I have to install some kext or others before install your package?

I couldn't install that. at the end of the installation, it said "fail"

I 'm using growl and CHUD?(since audioeee)

It does not hang on my System. I removed all the stuff, re-installed the original package by PentiumPC and then installed my package without any problems. Make sure that you downloaded the latest version as I fixed the install scripts.

If it still does not work, you could try to manually remove the following files/folders:

• /Acpi4Asus/
• /dsdt.aml
• /System/Library/Extensions/ACPI4ASUS.kext

You could also try to delete the Acpi4Asus Receipt of the original kext from /Library/Receipts

Please let me know, if any of the steps work for you.

Nope, still the same… the package seems to be corrupted… I can't open it with Pacifist because it seems some packages are missing in it.

When I open it with the finder, there is no dsdt.aml file etc. just some basic files into Content/Resources

The ACPI4Asus app registeres for growl at boot when the /Acpi4Asus/scripts/init.sh is executed. There seems to be either a timing issue or an issue with the root user that runs all the scripts. As a workaround, you have to execute the script manually once to register with growl.

I will provide a bugfix with the next release.

If anyone wants to map JUST the F10, F11 & F12 keys to the Apple Keyboards original mute, volUp, volDown buttons have a look here : http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=86757

I found this to be a good combo with the above hotkey-enabler. You do sacrifice using the F10, F11, F12 shortcuts however.

My mute/volup/voldown work instantly and show the original apple bezel for each function WITH POP SOUND TOO! :)

Steve.

Re: New improved Hotkey Enabler

slither2007 1238325327|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

I found minor issues and one tip.

Issue 1 : When waking the audio output is set twice which results in two Growl bezel notifications appearing.

Fix 1 : Comment out the AudioToggle.sh in the wake.sh file.

Issue 2 : Bluetooth turn off off. I tested this by running /usr/local/bin/blueutil off/on. This breaks the little if elseif, elseif, else test going on in the WifiToggle.sh script. Meaning that you can initially turn the wifi off but since the bluetooth can't be turned of it does nothing from then after when the fn button is pressed.

Fix 2 : I removed the two BT related else if condition tests from the WifiToggle.sh script. It now just toggles wifi on off.

Tip : To get the most eye candy out of Growl set your default to bezel and then you don't have to set each ACPI4ASUS notification setting to bezel when setting it up.

Note : I got the Bluetooth toggle working by editing the dsdt.aml but it defeats the purpose of being able to cycle between wifi and bluetooth easily.

Re: New improved Hotkey Enabler

elParkeur 1238358823|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

Wake issue:
The AudioToggle.sh is called from init.sh and wake.sh. It seems, that the init .sh is also launched upron wake. I thought it would only be launched upon boot. I will change the scripts accordingsly.

BT issue:
I will investigate the BT issue tomorow. Changing the BT status should have no effect on the script routine…
I know, that you hardware BT toggle worked in the initial release of the enabler. But as I wanted a combined WiFi/BT toggle, i removed the code from the dsdt.aml. Maybe we could combine our knowledge to get the hardware wifi toggle working…

Growl:
I have only the volume notification set to bezel and the other ones to smoke because I find the latter less disturbing.

Re: New improved Hotkey Enabler

slither2007 1238371639|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

I spent quite a while trying to understand the dsdt.aml and found some good documents to read on ACPI for Asus but could not find anyway to turn the wifi back on after it had been turned off.

I think turning the wifi on/off using the binary app is a good approach. Although having it cycle through a series of if conditions wouldn't be hard to whip up in ACPI but I'm not sure it would work since we can't get the wifi card to be detected again after it's turned off via a dsdt.aml fn+keypress.

I think you're right about the default growl bezel as my firefox download complete notifications where starting to appear in the center of the screen….lolol.

I'll have another dig.

Re: New improved Hotkey Enabler

elParkeur 1238394573|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

I also played a lot with the dsdt.aml. My latest thoughts were, that we pass the wrong value to the OWLS method to turn the wifi off. A call to OWLS(0) does a complete power off of the wifi card but maybe a standby state would be required to be able to turn it back on. I think it's also not just a one or a zero to pass to the wifi methods as these methods perform some bit manipulations. But I haven't found anny working solution, too.

Did you have success with requesting the driver source from PentiumPC? There are some bugs and limitations that would need some fixing, but that's impossible without the source.

Hi elParkuer,

I figured out why the bluetooth wasn't working. I hadn't applied the info.plist edit to my bluetooth kext. For those who need a point in the right direction this link will allow you to enable/disable your bluetooth. Without it the above hotkey enabler won't be able to toggle it on/off.

10.5.6 Bluetooth On/Off Fix :
http://ipis-osx.wikidot.com/forum/t-108855/working-bluetooth-kext#post-343386

I asked PentiumPC for his source but never got a reply. I invested some time in making a basic driver but got stuck at one point when it came to creating source events. I couldn't find any other material regarding my issue otherwise I would have been able to start listening and reacting to events fired from the AKD.

I'll keep thinking of a way to fire off the apple mute/vol keys from the command line with a fast app or something so we get the original bezel's and fast reaction time.

In the meantime I found this interesting link that has a basic unix script for toggling wifi on / off in linux.

Now this doesn't really relate to the ACPI states needed to be passed to OWLG but (I'm going off topic now) could provide a little insight into the Attansic L1E driver that doesn't sleep twice nicely. The author was mentioning that in his case the hardware state and driver state were not matching….i wonder if this is what's happening with our ethernet driver???hmm… http://cliffhacks.blogspot.com/2007/11/eeebuntu-tip-unloadingreloading-wifi.html

Re: New improved Hotkey Enabler

elParkeur 1238487649|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

Ii had another idea to get the original apple volume bezel when using the fn keys. I think most of you used Spark to map the volume functions to the function keys. My setup was:

• set ctrl+f10 = mute
• set ctrl+f11 = vol down
• set ctrl+f12 = vol up

Now one only has to send to correct key codes of ctrl+fxx when pressing fn+fxx. This can be realized very easily with applescript and works well. But there is still a delay between button press and volume adjustment. IMHO, this does not seem to be a problem with my scripts but with the driver as the scripts react imediately when launched in terminal.

If you are willing to use spark, I can provide the new scripts to get the original volume bezel. I know, that this is not a perfect solution but would allow you to use the fn keys for all the functions.

Does someone has experience with applescript gui or cocoa coding to create a small program to configure the hotkeys in a more convenient way?

slither2007 1238492423|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

I made a minor modification to my wifi script so growl notifies you when both wifi and bt is enabled and disabled.

Right-click and "Save Image As…" the image below to /Acpi4asus/gfx/WirelessBTWifi.png

Edit and modify the following if statements of your /Acpi4asus/launchers/f02.sh script to resemble this :

if (btStatus and wifiStatus) then
        execCmd(wifiBin, "-setairportpower off")
        Growl("WiFiToggle", "WiFi Status", "WiFi is now OFF", "WiFi")
else if (not btStatus and not wifiStatus) then
        execCmd(wifiBin, "-setairportpower on")
        Growl("WiFiToggle", "WiFi Status", "WiFi is now ON", "WiFi")
else if (wifiStatus and not btStatus) then
        execCmd(btBin, "on")
        Growl("BTToggle", "Bluetooth Status", "Wifi and Bluetooth are now ON", "BTWifi")
else
        execCmd(btBin, "off")
        Growl("BTToggle", "Bluetooth Status", "Bluetooth and Wifi are now OFF", "BTWifi")
end if

Re: New improved Hotkey Enabler

slither2007 1238717845|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

The events that pentiumpc's asus driver are listening for may be different slightly on the 901. Since we don't have his source it's not possible to change that right now without re-writing the driver from scratch.

I find that even though his driver registers the key presses instantly the applescript that calls the volume up/down/mute is slow so I'm using Spark.

As for the Audio output swap functionality you could use spark to set a "ctrl +F<whichever>" key combo to run the script that cycles through the headphone/speaker.

First check that the script itself works first by running it from the Terminal. If the outputs were swapped then see if you can configure spark. This will save you clicking on Audeee each time to swap outputs.

After you press one of the non-working fn key combos you could try to run

sudo dmesg | tail

in terminal. If the driver registered the key press, there schould be some messages in dmesg.

As I stated above … the delay of the volume keys is caused by the driver itself. It seems that it needs some time before it catches the key event. It would require the source to check if one could optimize this…

I have uploaded it: http://thireus.dareyourmind.net/Asus%20EEE1000H%20-%20Hotkeys%20Enabler.mpkg.zip

I think this is the last version, but not sure about it. :/

EDIT: Yes it's ok this is the latest version :)

TO THE DEV: I don't know why, but FN + F2 doesn't work anymore :/ I tried a fresh install, but still the same since I have tried to edit with the provided modification…

Also I could be interesting to improve the keys now that we have a working kext for audio. So no more Audieee!

Here is a quick fix for the dependencies error that occurs after the 10.5.7 update:

1) Open the file

/System/Library/Extensions/ACPI4Asus.kext/Contents/Info.plist

2) At the very bottom of the file you will find

<key>OSBundleLibraries</key>
        <dict>
                <key>com.apple.iokit.IOACPIFamily</key>
                <string>1.2.0</string>
                <key>com.apple.kernel</key>
                <string>9.6.0</string>
                <key>com.apple.kpi.iokit</key>
                <string>9.0.0</string>
                <key>com.apple.kpi.libkern</key>
                <string>9.0.0</string>
                <key>com.apple.kpi.mach</key>
                <string>9.0.0</string>
        </dict>

3) There you will have to change the version of com.apple.kernel from 9.6.0 to 9.7.0.

This will fix the ACPI driver for all of you that use a bios revision prior to 1902. If you already updates your bios to the latest version and use the dsdt.aml from Alex you will have to wait until I included the additional ACPI functions into that file. As business occupies most of my time, it could take a few days. So stay tuned…

Hey,
after i installed this Package, my battery indicator went away. Energy Saver tells me "No Batteries available". Also just the Power Button, worked but none of the Silver Buttons nor the Fn+ combinations.

The Display backlight turned on after wakeup which is great.

kextstat did not show any ACPI4ASUS kext. Since im using a 9.7.0 Kernel i changed the Line in the Info.plist. Still no luck.

As for the Audio toggle without audioeee im using VoodooHDA http://code.google.com/p/voodoohda/downloads/list now, which doesnt need this anyway.

Re: New improved Hotkey Enabler

andif62 1244494296|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

Got the same problem with "no batteries available" here. All the other stuff except the BT hotkey is working fine but I want my battery indicator back!
Removing these files/folders:
* /Acpi4Asus/
* /dsdt.aml
* /System/Library/Extensions/ACPI4ASUS.kext

didn´t work for me…

Re: New improved Hotkey Enabler

elParkeur 1244604177|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

Which model are you using and which distro do you have installed?

You could try to install VoodooBattery.kext to get you battery indicator back.

Re: New improved Hotkey Enabler

andif62 1244782709|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

Seems I´ve destroyed my working configuration…
After deinstalling Acpi4Asus the battery indicator was still not working.
So I´ve made a BIOS update using Niks files (http://www.enik.ch/2009/05/osx-leopard-1057-update-on-the-eee-1000h/; the new 1902 Alex BIOS)
but after this there is no more brightness control and sleep mode. Closing the lid make the screen go dark but my Eee doesn´t go to sleep.
It won´t "wake up" from this state either. I have to do a reboot to get a working screen. :-(
Even shutdown won´t switch the machine off.
Desparately looking for a hint…

There is a new version out…

Download:

see first post of this topic

Changes:

• sleep on lid close enabled (was missing in last version)
• modified kext to be loadable with 10.5.7
• the bluetooth menu extra was not loaded after boot when bluetooth was turned off
• new AutoLocation script to change the Network Location depending on the availlable WiFi networks
• new HotkEee application to configure the hotkey actions in a more convenient way
• separated WiFi and Bluetooth toggle
• removed no longer needed audio and ethernet fixes

Modifying a Hotkey:

Modifying a hotkey action was never easier before. You just have to launch the new HotkEee app and set up everything there…**

hi.. i have try you new hotkey enabler..
i found a problem with the wifi (fn+f2)
it actives wifi, shearches the network and it doesn't find the network… then it turns off wifi…
can i resolve this issue??

Re: New improved Hotkey Enabler

elParkeur 1244117543|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

Hmm … this should not happen. Even if the AutoLocation script does not find any networks, WiFi should remain powered on. Have you installed the dsdt.aml of the package or do you use another one?

It seems that the install automatically change your dsdt file :)

So no more need to use my dsdt file, the one provided into the package works great!

The new version is great. Some features need to be improved such as the volume hotkeys that are not working well.

A change that must be done:

When we use the "Foremost windows tiled" feature, there are 5px on the right. To avoid it just do this change into the TileWindows.sh file:

FIND:

— why the -5?
set size of w to {(item 3 of bound) - (item 1 of bound) - 5, ¬
(item 4 of bound) - (item 2 of bound) - 5}

REPLACE IT TO THIS:

— why the -5?
set size of w to {(item 3 of bound) - (item 1 of bound), ¬
(item 4 of bound) - (item 2 of bound)}

I uploaded a new revised version with fixed VolUp script, enhanced VolMute script and TileWindows script without 5px right space. The volume keys still react slow … but as I pointed out before, this is an issue with the driver which I cannot fix without the source code.

See the first post for the download link…

Do you use an airport card or the ralink card? The script only works with airport cards.

You could also check, if airport is deactivated in you current network location.

Good work, I am impressed, elParkeur, :) and I am decided more and more to test the EeeKey™ Enabler. As understand the .sh are scripts one may switch? I would suggest you to remove these savvy names and have them replaced by common friendlier names for every assignable action, eg >Launch Activity Monitor< //for >ActivityMonitor.sh< …

I will check if I satisfy the prerequisites and will go for it, as soon as I do my smbios.plist posts and got more time…

I love the new HotKey Enabler; it's finally working for me except for hibernate which still only works with the EFI V9 bootloader.

I would only like to be able to change other buttons' assignments and to create new choices: for example, my 1000HA doesn't have bluetooth so I'd use the button to lauch TextEdit.app for example. Would it be possible for now? I see that the bluetooth shortcut is pretty much hard-coded. Also, anyway to link it to shortcuts Spark was already handling (like iTunes controls)?

Thanks, and great job again!

Re: New improved Hotkey Enabler

For the bluetooth shortcut you could try to create a llink from BT_ON_notify and BT_OFF_notify to your desired script. Unfortunately, this is pretty much hardcoded within the driver which I cannot change. So in Terminal you would have to execute the following command:

rm /Acpi4Asus/scripts/BT_ON_notify.sh
rm /Acpi4Asus/scripts/BT_OFF_notify.sh
ln -s /Your/desired/script.sh /Acpi4Asus/script/BT_ON_notify.sh
ln -s /Your/desired/script.sh /Acpi4Asus/script/BT_OFF_notify.sh

Regarding the iTunes shortcuts … which functions would you like to control?

Re: New improved Hotkey Enabler

Simonb42 1244636753|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

Controlling Play-Pause, Next and Previous tracks would be nice. I prefer (and am used to) the way Spark takes care of Volume so I'd use FN+F10 to F12.

What would the script to start an App look like? Is it as simple as editing the script that opens Activity Monitor and replacing the target App? And would I still get feedback telling me I toggled Bluetooth or can that be changed also?

You will not get any bluetooth notification, if you replace the bt scripts with your own one. Could you please check, which script gets launched when you press the 4th silver button? To do so, you have to do the following:

• open terminal app
• press the silver button
• type in terminal sudo dmesg

You should see some debug output of the driver that also includes the executed script. Do the above steps twice to check, of both scripts (ON and OFF) get executed or only one of them.

Only BT_ON_notify.sh gets launched when you press the hotkey. So just make a copy of ActivityMonitor.sh and name it BT_ON_notify. Be sure to delete the original one. Then you will only have to change the Activity Monitor app within the script with your desired application.

I've done that. It launches my app once, but then keeps telling me Bluetooth is off. So I can't open my app more than one. I've tried replacing the BT_OFF script too with the same thing but it doesn't work at all…

Wow, I'm impressed. I can't find much more that I could be hoping for now! I really like the battery notification script :) This is all making my Eee even more convenient to use.

Now would it be possible to make an easy to use script for launching applications, much like what works for the grey buttons on windows?

Just a question, would the scripts-ACPI code work on a 900HA (FN keys I mean; silver buttons excluded, obviously)? I'm thinking about sizing down…

The app launcher script is on my todo list. I'm currently thinking about a convenient way to configure the application to launch with the HotkEee app.

I cannot guarantee that the dsdt also works for the 900HA. If you could provide me a dsdt file of the 900HA I could have a look.

Re: Version 0.4 out

elParkeur 1245652928|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

You should think about you atitude here. #$%?& is not the right tone to judge my Hotkey Enabler which I create in my free time (which is not that much with studies, 2 jobs and a family) and which I offer you for free. You should consider a more polite way of asking for help!

So, to get rid of the #$%?& piece of software, you have to delete:

• /dsdt.aml
• /Acpi4Asus/
• /System/Library/Extensions/ACPI4Asus.kext
• /Applications/HotkEee.app

Re: Version 0.4 out

nhirt 1245675428|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

Mayh,

Your behavior is ABSOLUTELY unacceptable (yes I am shouting for once).
As elParkeur says, we're taking on our free time to help people out here and it's trolls like you that make me think of continuing my efforts (not that they were huge, but still ;-) in developing this community.

This is about positive attitude and respect, so if you don't like "this #$%?& Hotkey Enabler" then reinstall or go back to XP so you can complain to Micro$oft.
This is not an Apple support forum, nor do we owe you anything…

The least thing would be to apologize to elParkeur about your choice of language as he put in huge amounts of time to make this package happen.
Otherwise I would suggest that you don't come back here…

Let's keep this blog positive and helpful,

Nik

DSDT file for 1GB RAM

elParkeur 1245315058|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

I found the entry in the dsdt that specifies the system ram and causes the battery meter problems in machines with only 1GB ram. Could anybody with 1GB ram test the file and report, if the battery meter is working? Unfortunately, I sold my 1GB ram module when I upgraded to 2GB … so I cannot test it on my own.

You can download the file here

In Terminal run

defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.asus.driver.acpi user your_user_name

Replace your_user_name with the short name (unix name) of your normal user account.

For the notifications you can check in your growl preferences if the ACPI4ASUS notifications are properly registered. If not, run the following AppleScript:

set the allNotificationsList to ¬
  {"AudioToggle", "AutoLocation", "BatNotif", "BTToggle", "DisplayToggle", "Hibernation", "LockScreen", "ScaleScreen", "TileWindows", "Volume", "WiFiToggle"}

set the enabledNotificationsList to ¬
  {"AudioToggle", "AutoLocation", "BatNotif", "BTToggle", "DisplayToggle", "Hibernation", "LockScreen", "ScaleScreen", "TileWindows", "Volume", "WiFiToggle"}

tell application "GrowlHelperApp"

hey guys i also have 1gb ram and this dsdt file doesn't seem to make any difference for me, battery icon still shows an x in it.

i have tried voodoo battery and AppleACPIBatteryManager.kext, no luck.

elparkeur, in your dsdt above, the hex for a 1gb system is:
OperationRegion (BIOS, SystemMemory, 0x3FF7CD7D, 0xFF)
right? i have tried adding this to Thireus' dsdt to no avail, is this the only part that needs changing for different ram?

i want to extract my own dsdt without booting using a dsdt file, can i do this if i have a hacked bios and just remove the dsdt file? worth a shot i guess.
edit: tried it and i can't boot without a dsdt because of the graphics fix, just get that blue screen. daamn.

andif62, what kexts are you using for the battery, and are you running them from extra/extensions of system/library/extensions?

just wanna see my battery charge y'all ;_;

Edit: fixed, hooray! I found another dsdt file for 1gb ram (for some reason the mediafire one didn't work):
http://www.savefile.com/projects/808775491
sleep and battery are working great now!

That's strange. I checked the file you mentioned for the SystemMemory settings.

my dsdt
3FF7CD7D₁₆ = 1073204605₁₀ Bytes = 1023₁₀ MB

your dsdt
0x3F7AE064₁₆ = 1065017444₁₀ Bytes = 1015₁₀ MB

I wonder why there is a difference of 8 MB.

@Andreas: Is your battery meter really working with my file?

Re: DSDT file for 1GB RAM

gilest 1245476298|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

you're right, it is weird. i didn't really expect it to work but it did. and it solved *a lot* of issues for me straight away.

sleep works perfectly now, i can wake up with the spacebar or whatever, if i tried to sleep with the old dsdt it would just turn the screen off and the status indicators would remain on, required a hard reset every time i accidentally went to sleep.

for some reason while i was messing around with bios/dsdt/kext combinations, OpenHaltRestart stopped working altogether being loaded from either extensions directory, this was fixed also.

i am back to the 1902 unmodded bios and i have pretty much everything working, battery is very accurate, acts just like on a macbook, except i can remove my battery and the symbol will become the x symbol again, but only until i put the battery back in, sweet!

Thanks elParkeur for a great app, the ASUS is a Mac now for sure…
It works and looks like the real thing!

I just had small issue because I’m running 10.5.6 I had to reverse the version of com.apple.kernel from 9.7.0 to 9.6.0 in the Info.plist. After the manual change I needed to fix the kext permissions with Kext helper. The app responded immediately after that.

Thx!
Fred

PS. Just saw a small cosmetic thing now. If I mute the volume and I don’t hit mute again but directly a volume fn key it starts from null. I think with Mac it starts from the level before I muted. It’s really a tiny detail…

Re: New improved Hotkey Enabler

elParkeur 1245828411|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

I will include two versions of the kext in the next release.

I have to think about you mute suggestion. It's not that trivial because I have to differentiate between volume set to 0 and volume muted to 0 …

Re: New improved Hotkey Enabler

Allegri 1245843012|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

Sure,

I understand that it has to done in another way… Put your energy in more releveant matters when it comes to the mute level. I really appreciate your app…

First, I want to thank you for an awesome program. Thanks so much.

Now, to the issues raised by installing it on my system (2GB Asus 1002ha - Triple boot (Mac OS 10.5.7 Retail, Fedora 11, Windows 7 RC) - Darwin + Chameleon as the bootloaders). I installed your hotkey enabler using your installer, and replaced the dsdt.aml file I had created for my system (on which Fn-F5, Fn-F6 worked no problem) with the one in your installer package.

Once your program was installed, I observed the following:

Hibernate (Fn-F1) works fine going into hibernate; pushing any combination of keys does not allow exit of hibernate to occur.

WiFi Toggle (Fn-F2) works fine; no issues.

Screen brightness reduce (Fn-F5) and screen brightness increase (Fn-F6) no longer work; it is probably a dsdt.aml issue, as they worked no problem when I had my dsdt.aml on installed.

Mute (Fn-F10) does not work (similar dsdt.aml issue? Not sure), whereas Vol down (Fn-F11) and Vol up (Fn-F12) work no problem (so I have stopped my Spark daemon).

Not sure about the other buttons.

Anyways, thoughts about how to address the 2 screen brightness issues and the vol mute issue above, as well as the exit hibernation issue, would be much appreciated. I would post my original dsdt.aml file on here, but I am not sure how to do that.

Having said all that, thanks again for having produced this program; much appreciated here.

Hi elParkeur, thank you for the wonderful utility!
I want to sum here my problems with Asus EEE1000H - Hotkeys Enabler.mpkg v.0.4 and my update to 10.5.8:
1. Prior to update my system to 10.5.8 I've removed the older version of HotkEee and all paths.
2. I was on 1000H_2003 BIOS (with moded OEM logo) and DSDT.AML 2102 with ASUS Hot key (by dadaz). My dsdt.aml is always loaded from /Extra/dsdt.aml as set in my com.apple.Boot.plist file.
3. I kept the ACPI4ASUS.kext installed in /S/L/E patched for 10.5.8 as you have suggested above.
4. I did the HotkEee 0.4, and:
// On first restart I had a KP but after shutdown and reboot the System has loaded normally.
// ACPI4ASUS.kext was unloaded and put in /Aspi4Asus.bak folder. It doesn't load in Terminal.
// In my root path there was another dsdt.aml.

Is it safe to replace this /dsdt.aml with one I load from /Extra/dsdt.aml?
Is it safe to install kexthelper the ACPI4ASUS.kext in /S/L/E?

//Regards, NF
