spidey123 Posted October 29, 2016 Author Share Posted October 29, 2016 It is quite strange Jake Lo. If I switch my bios to function instead of multimedia then it works. However its stuck in what ever Keyboard I had set as default before installing Karabiner. I believe I had it to US but with the version of VoodooPS2 it should be Euro because its reversed. Seems to reverse even Karabiner too. Can only type the tilde character if I go into Karabiner and select keyboard type instead of default. Other wise the keys were all working perfecting. Just took a bios switch. I tried to uninstall Karabiner Elements and I also delete the .karabiner folder but it keeps returning after reboot. Also every time I try to run the Keyboard Assistant in settings it says keyboard not detected. So it doesn't allow me to change mode. Like its stuck. So on my internal i think Im going to leave it as is without installing Karabiner. The volume keys work perfectly and if i want to change brightness I will go to system settings and use the slider. Thanks again for all the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted October 29, 2016 Moderators Share Posted October 29, 2016 So for the system without Karabiner-Element the ~ key also doesn't work? Does it have Alps or Synaptics keyboard? If you could try apps like shades or brightness slider as a workaround. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spidey123 Posted October 29, 2016 Author Share Posted October 29, 2016 My internal has Euro Keyboard selected and I can make the tilde with ~ shift and tilde key so it works. Like you said the keyboards seem reversed for some. As for what type of keyboard I will need to look into that tomorrow morning as I cannot remember which one of the two I have Alps or Synaptics, but I believe Synaptics. I actually have Windows still on this internal. Im dual booting so I suppose going into to windows is the simplest way to find out. I'll definitely log in in the morning. Thanks Jake Lo.

spidey123 Posted October 29, 2016 Author Share Posted October 29, 2016 Ok Jake Lo, so I can confirm it is Synaptics and not Alps. But as long as you select ISO Europe as the Keyboard it works pretty well. I even found a VodooPS2 from Rehabmans repository and that I thought worked well but then after a bit it freezes up. Tried it more then once. For now it seems Release 4 RC4 works best on both the 3542 and the E6420. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bronxteck Posted October 30, 2016 Administrators Share Posted October 30, 2016 you can try the Elan/synaptics trackpad from our forum. https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/1948-elan-focaltech-and-synaptics-smart-touchpad-driver-mac-os-x/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spidey123 Posted October 30, 2016 Author Share Posted October 30, 2016 Ok I will give that a shot tomorrow. Thanks Bronxtech. I've downloaded 4.6.5 Are there new kexts to remove before installing this? As I cannot find any other kexts listed in the instructions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
