Sorry for the noise, now the issue is still there but makes > more sense ):) Use "!Windows 2012" can fallback to Windows 2009 mode for workaround rkfill button and brightness issue on your machine, but we still have problem with Windows 2012 mode. That means we need spend more time to trace the dsdt stuff for guess what's behavior on HP machine with Windows 8. Thanks a lot!
