Tapping on the sound or brightness keys once every two or three seconds during reboot revivies them. In closing : I don't believe the root cause is SimonSays, but there is a relationship between a Dock corruption (?) issue and the loss of the hardware keys and that of the slider control in the panel. After reboot, I logged in and SimonSays was off the dock and the sound and brightness keys were working. What I did was to log in, disable all startup items in my login prefs. įinally, a last surprise : I can no longer re-create the problem - because I finally managed to remove the Application (SimonSays) from the dock - and it remained off the dock after reboot. 21:29:51.008 loginwindow Uninitialized rectangle passed to. 21:29:51.008 loginwindow *** Assertion failure in -, AppKit.subproj/NSView.m:709
Upon reboot and loggin in, the hardware keys for brightness and sound would not work, *and the Application I had removed previously was again in the dock.*įurthermore, I noticed the following error message in the console:
I'm not 100% clear on the relationship, but I managed to re-create the problem by removing an Application (SimonSays) from my dock. Which means I re-created the problem wherein the sound and brightness keys weren't working. However, this is the strangest part: I've replicated my workaround three times. My workaround is to reboot the machine, and during the reboot process, tap on any of the brightness or sound keys once every two seconds. I have a proposed workaround to this problem. Others have noted this issue as well - but I couldn't get a login account on their site to post a response - which is why I am posting it here on MacFixit. After applying a patch to Tiger, I found my brightness and sound control keys on the keyboard were non-operational at some indeterminate time (meaning I rebooted the laptop several times and eventually noticed that my sound and brightness keys weren't working)Ĭuriously, while the brightness and sound control keys were not working, I also noted the brightness slider control was missing form the System Preference Panel for Display.
