I've tried to add the MacBookPro10,1 to nvidiabl-laptops.h

After add Option "RegistryDwords" "EnableBrightnessControl=1" to xorg.conf

brightness, actual_brightness, and max_brightness are all 127, there's no effect to change them.

BTW, I'm using EFI not BIOS.

The applebl and apple-gmux module will do the brightness control well, only if I suspend and resume the laptop.

No need to install this module, no other configurations to nvidia module and xorg.conf

Brightness of nvidia chips on Mac is slightly different, this module is not adapted, I will blacklist your latop model in V 0.82
