Re: Early 2009 iMac with Sierra (unsupported)-Brightness won't work

[fishjoyner]

Hi,
After your response, I went back and tried to find the information I 
mentioned. 
Here is a link to some of it:
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/fixing-brightness-with-custom-edid.219413/
However, after rereading it, it looks like this if for a laptop, so perhaps 
there is no solution to this problem on an iMac 9,1 except for a 
"Brightness" app. 
Sorry for not reading carefully the first time.
But if anyone has other ideas, I would love to hear them.
Thanks,
Joe

Hi,
After reading your response, I went back to look for some of the solutions.
Here is one posting that I found"
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/fixing-brightness-with-custom-edid.219413/

However, after rereading it, it appears that this is for laptops, and not 
the iMac 91. Sorry for not reading more carefully.
So, perhaps there is no known fix for the iMac 9,1 and Sierra at this 
time--unless someone out there knows of one.
Thanks,
Joe

Ah yes, building Hacks like this requires delving into some pretty arcane 
hardware driver stuff.

One (kinda remote) possibility is look into using Automator to make a script to 
raise the brightness on login? The app you have may be controllable via 
Applescript.
