Hello, I was just wondering if anyone knew how to map the PrtScr key to the Right Option (also know as Right Alt) ?

I'm talking about this key

I tried different solutions, like Karabiner-Elements or https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/technotes/tn2450/_index.html but none that are "software-based" would work, it seems that the keyboard always send the Cmd+Shift+4 combination

Is there any way to check the fan working in my hackintosh? My t480s is running quite hot in high load, but I couldn't see if the fan run faster during the load. Actually, the fan noise still the same in low and high load.

Hello I have managed to implement the SMBUS driver for the ELAN touchpad so we can use the native gestures implemented by the VoodooI2C creators.
Please feel free to test

Just finished my Hackintosh installation on a ThinkPad T480s. . .

The biggest annoyance remaining is the lack of scrolling support

I thought the Elan touchpad used VoodooI2C.kext?

I could be totally wrong...

Ah, I see you beat me to it! Thanks for the link, I'm thinking about hacking a T480s myself... T460s works great!

Nope. T480/T480s uses PS/2 ports but not I2C for Elan trackpad. You can only use the VoodooPS2 kext or another closed source Elan driver.

I'm not so sure about this ... Please see https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/success-macos-10-14-on-thinkpad-t480s.261318/post-1935387

Here another T480s success,
it was so tricky to get 10.14.4 installed. I'll update you soon with a guide.

Best Regards

Im lookin forward to seeing a guide, I installed High Sierra on my main desktop to dual boot and now want to try Mojave on my laptop since I miss the dark theme... Anyone else know if the install process is generally seamless on the T480s? I was going to partition my SSD and dual boot from it like that.

Ahh screw it, I'll probably just do it anyways and hope for the best

Thanks!
