pepsimax Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 thanks Billmaudit, but it still does not work. In the start process (verbose mode) I can see this error : appleps2controller.kext : timed out on mouse input stream and when system is launched I don't have neither keybord or mouse. I must then use USB mouse and keyboard in order to be able to use the system... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you be more specific about your system, is it laptop, desktop, give model, motherboard, mouse type.... first billmaudit if u read carefully im not complaining about anythingsecondary r u sure that this kernel panic fpu isnt linked to ur install? for the rest im gonna try but i need a USB keyboard to replace the kext and repair permissions. voila a + the kernel panic seems to be related with legacy usb support from the bios of my laptop.

ElSenorPantelone Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Hey Bill, thanks for all the work that you have been doing. I have been keeping up with this thread because my laptop keyboard and touchpad refuse to work. I have a Gateway NX850XL which has a 915 express chipset. 2.13gzh P4M and according to Gateway a "Gateway EZ-Touch" touchpad. I looked for the PNP Device ID in windows and I get: "PNP Device ID ACPI\SYN0403\4&3863886D&0" which leads me to belive that it is I Synaptics touchpad. I have NOT been able to get any drivers to work. I have scoured the forum, the wiki, and IRC, but nobody has a solution for me. Here's the deal though, It seems that if I change the files in the current kext that I have, the one on the prepatched DVD, and force a reload of the kext, it loads and both my keyboard and mouse work, but no matter what I do to /etc/rc there is no way that I can script a way to get it working. Is there any suggestions that you might have for me? I appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmilE Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 for me, i have changed the etc/rc file under windows by MacDrive then, my keyboard works in the 15 firts seconds of boot in osx and freeze after that no help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inteluser Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 but notebooks have inbuilt keyboards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmilE Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 i find the way for working keyboard just open the file "applePS2Controller.kext" with right click and "open package". then in "plugins" folder, you have "applePS2Keyboard.kext". Right click then get info. In section "Owner and permissions", open the security device for change. select your username for owner to get permissions. Normally some parameters were shadowed, they will appear then just close the file and modify the file /etc/rc how it was described before with kextload it works+++ i'm searching solutions for trackpad using usb device does'nt kill me yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclonefr Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 hum great! SmIIE and it works with the original 10.4.5 PS2Controller.kext of the one uploaded on this forum? thanx in advance ps: and making the same change on the applePS2trackpad doesnt work i suppose can u remind a full procedure for noobs and the rest cause there is so much ApplePS2controller.kext on this site that a clear workaround is a good thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
184200 Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 @ SmilE Yeah! That'd be great to have a step-by-step instructions. If you have some spare time - please- write it down ThanQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmilE Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 sorry guys... but i was trying to make it fine. The problem is that the system reload automaticly the permissions as before. I'll try to explain... We have a package which is responsible of ps2 devices : ApplePS2Controller.kext, this package contains three kextfile : ApplePS2keyboard, ApplePS2trackpad and ApplePS2mouse. the problem we have, we have to reload the good version of package with goods permissions. The package i have is attached here so now, we have many solutions: - change the /etc/rc file which will be executed at every boot. - unload and reload the kext file. i don't garantee this solutions works fine, but you must try many times for working the first solutions (under windows): Download MacDrive open the file rc in your osx HD and edit it with texteditor (add "kextunload /System/Library/Extensions/ApplePS2Controller.kext/Contents/Plugins/ApplePS2Keyboard.kext kextload /System/Library/Extensions/ApplePS2Controller.kext/Contents/Plugins/ApplePS2Keyboard.kext" at the end of rc file just before "exit 0") Save and close. Reboot and tell me the second solution (under osx): delete files .mkext .kextcache (2 files normally) in /System/Library/ copy the package .kext i attached into /System/Library/Extensions (you'll need to authenticate so don't forget to load the virtual keybord;)) load this command in terminal (copy it into a textfile and "copy&paste") YOU WILL NEED A ROOT ACCESS!!! sudo diskutil repairPermissions / sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/ApplePS2Controller.kext sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/ApplePS2Controller.kext kextload /System/Library/Extensions/ApplePS2Controller.kext kextcache -k /System/Library/Extensions/ ok, let's try it and if someone comes here and have a better solution WHICH works ...tell us!! i don't its the best.

npwski Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 SmilE, thanks for driver, it's working My harware: Logitech MX310 USB mouse. Yes, i can connect it to ps/2-port with adapter, but i want it in USB for use she's rich functions. Cherry G86 USB keyboard with ps/2 adapter. I connected it in ps/2-port because i can't find any useful drivers for this non-standard keyboard for use in USB. Summary: PS/2-keyboard and USB-mouse. Finally, all works fine. After all, I tried some checks: 1) I removed this lines "kextunload/kextload" in rc. Keyb not working. 2) I enabled "Legacy mouse support" in bios. System hangs. Finally, i reverted this points. All works fine when "kextunload/kextload" is in rc and "Legacy mouse"&"Legacy keyboard support" disabled in bios. Thanks PS. Sorry, little correction, you wrote kextunload /System/Library/Extensions/ApplePS2Controller.kext/Contents/Plugins/ApplePS2Keyboard.kextkextunload /System/Library/Extensions/ApplePS2Controller.kext/Contents/Plugins/ApplePS2Keyboard.kext Correct it, please: kextunload /System/Library/Extensions/ApplePS2Controller.kext/Contents/Plugins/ApplePS2Keyboard.kext kextload /System/Library/Extensions/ApplePS2Controller.kext/Contents/Plugins/ApplePS2Keyboard.kext Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
