[solved] Struggling to swap Capslock and Ctrl

[tribalt]

Hey All,

https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...5th-gen-with-dual-boot-unchanged-win7.237922/
(big thanks to the users involved in those!)

I've got my Lenovo X1 Carbon 5th Gen (2017) working almost perfectly. (10.14 Mojave)

I've tried to follow https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/swapped-caps-lock-and-control-causes-locked-control.246546/ and used the example here https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-Voodoo-PS2-Controller/blob/master/SSDT-Swap-LeftControlCapsLock.dsl for making Caps Lock act as Ctrl, by remapping in the DSDT instead of sys prefs (when using sys prefs i get an "always on" ctrl).

For reference, I'm trying these two SSDT patches in EFI/Clover/ACPI/patched:

Looking at the logs, I can confirm the patches are being applied successfully. However they don't seem to have any effect on the Caps Lock button.

I'm trying both with two different "paths" to the Keyboard, which I've tried guessing but also attempted to workout from looking at ioreg:

Any ideas where I'm going wrong?

Attached output from gen_debug.

First, you should not have multiple AML files attempting PS2 configuration (eg. should not have both SSDT-Swap-LeftControlCapsLock.aml and SSDT-Caps-Ctl.aml)

All RMCF data for PS2 configuration must be in a single file containing the RMCF data (otherwise you have duplicate symbols).

Your PS2 keyboard device is at _SB.PCI0.LPCB.KBD.

Which means both of your SSDTs are coded incorrectly.

SSDT-Swap-LeftControlCapsLock.aml uses _SB.PCI0.LPCB.PS2K.RMCF, which is wrong (LPCB.KBD, not LPCB.PS2K).
SSDT-CapsCtl.aml uses _SB.PCI0.LPCB.KBD, which is wrong (should be _SB.PCI0.LPCB.KBD.RMCF).

Legend! Thank you.

I had incorrectly assumed "_SB.PCI0.LPCB.PS2K.RMCF" (from your example) was the device path, which is why I was omitting "RMCF" and using just my device path. Silly mistake.
