Not working

  1. FN + media controller's key
  2. The support for DRM contents is limited due to incompatible firmware. Please see the DRM Compatibility Chart.

Attention please

  1. Note that this fork is mostly for my laptop only (X510UA-BQ490). If yours has similar features such as no dGPU and no KB backlight, try, but at your own risk. Otherwise, please go to hieplpvip's Zenbook repository or S510UA hackintosh repository.
  2. Please read the whole README before doing anything. It's strange that some people ask me unrelated things and whatever things they want and they come at me when they're told they have asked useless things.
