Latitude E5540: key remapping for Backlight


Mihari Oyama

Recommended Posts

I have installed macOS Mojave 10.14.6 on Dell Latitude E5540 but I have problem with this

The backlight key isn't remap as the layout of my keyboard: (but I am very stuck in remapping key >~<)

- fn + up_arrow = Increase Backlight
- fn + down_arrow = decrease backlight

- home + end key = trackpad toggle

but I found this:

- fn + F3 = decrease backlight

- Insert = increase backlight

- fn + F5 = toggle trackpad

I have installed ioio for detecting key and in Console.app showed:

default    01:52:09.037594 +0700    kernel    ApplePS2Keyboard: sending key e048=7e down (Up Arrow)
default    01:52:13.737074 +0700    kernel    ApplePS2Keyboard: sending key e050=7d down (Down Arrow)

default    01:53:08.439873 +0700    kernel    ApplePS2Keyboard: sending key 46=6b down (FN + F3)
default    01:53:14.578634 +0700    kernel    ApplePS2Keyboard: sending key e045=71 down (Insert)
My EFI File: I attached below :3

The BRT6 ACPI patch, whether implemented as a DSDT patch or a dedicated patched SSDT, has worked on all my recent Dell Hackintosh laptops: E6230, E6440, E7250 and 7490. I would therefore expect it to be applicable to your Haswell E5540 too.

 

It's totally unrelated to USB ports (you posts were moderated to that effect in order to avoid all possible confusion) and it's not related to the PS2 kext used either; why? Because, if I use/used DrHurt's R6 kext on my E6230/E6440/E7250, I had to use a different kext on the I2C-based Latitude 7490 and the BRT6 patch was still effective.
