Hacked PS/2 Driver :)

[ElSenorPantelone]

Still no luck. I have tried nearly every solution posted on the forum. I am running 10.4.5 and I have a Gateway NX850XL laptop. I cannot get my touchpad to work on a regular basis. I have edited my /etc/rc file. Sometimes I can get the touchpad to work, but there is no rhyme or reason to when it does function. When it does, I do a dmesg, and I see Synaptics v5.9, but when I reboot, its not working again. I have disabled legacy USB support in bios. Tried every combination of booting with or without my usb HID devices plugged in or not. Does anyone have any unconventional solutions that they could suggest to me that sucessfully worked for them. I'm pulling my hair out here.

[SmilE]

i have the same problem

when i executes manually the commands kextload and kextunload under osx, my keyboard works...but after 5/10mn... it freeze !!

i think there are "something" which block the loaded kextfile.....but what? i don't know...

i tried many solutions... but i'm not a "professionnal" mac user... if somebody can help us for this problem...it'll be wonderfull!

[184200]

No luck for me too

Let's hope that some clever guy will come up with a working solution

[cyclonefr]

btw guys im gonna install 10.4.3 1099 keyboard and trackpad work fine under it

then im gonna try to find which kext or framework can work with the ApplePS2controller.kext and give the f***ing bug...u can try also and find a workaround! enjoy

[SmilE]

i'va one idea... programming a ".batt" file (like under windows but i don't know if it exists under osx) which executes the necessary commands every time the keyboard freezes...

it's not the better solutions...but right now...there is no other way

dear macusers, please help us

[hushushus]

I have a kernel panic with ApplePS2Controller with FPU segment overrun error. I try to compile ApplePS2Controller from darwin 8.4 sources but i get the following errors :

 

ApplePS2Controller.cpp: error: converting from `void(ApplePS2Controller::*)(IOInterruptEventSource*, int)' to `void (*)(OSObject*, IOInterruptEventSource*, int)' in a kext. Use OSMemberFunctionCast() instead.

 

3 of theses when creating interrupts

 

i'm new on os x devlopment and further kext ! got to find documentation on iokit and that kind of stuff.

 

 

Just same issue here, it boots with the 10.4.3 version, but i can only use the os with an usb mouse (no keyb). Tried all patches, but nothing seems to solve it. Removed the IOUSBFamily.kext but doesn't work too.

 

I think the problem doesn't seem to be related with the appleps2controller.

 

HEELP!!

[nerdgerl]

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.

 

First of all, a big thank you to the contributers on this thread. When i first began to read it, i thought it would be a piece of cake to set up my keyboard laptop because like the first poster, i have an LG (LS50) laptop!

However it did take me a few hours.

 

The last KEXT file that i believe SmilE wrote seemed to work for me. Here is what i did:

-installed the SmilE kext with the instructions from the first post.

-the i ran those terminal window lines above

-i didn't change my usb keyboard, legacy support settings (ie they remained enabled)

- AND i added the kextload, kextunload two lines to the end of my rc file.

 

now my keyboard AND touchpad (bar the tapping) works fabulously.

 

Thanks much!!!

 

ps. Im on 10.4.6

[cinepires]

hello all im new on osx scene and

i have

Sony Vaio fe11s duo core

i install osx 10.4.5 and in the first boot the keyboard works well, but in the 2º reboot the OS open an bluetooth divece and search for a new keybord ( i dont have bluetooth keybord ) and the native keyboard never work again

[AP27]

I get a weird problem

I added the kext file, open up terminal and try to paste the code. It puts up some rules about 'Respect others privacy' and then asks for a password. Here i cant enter any text. The cursor thing doesnt blink. If i try typing in text editor suppose (using an external usb keyboard) it works fine, but it doesnt let me type in Terminal when it prompts for password.

Any help would be appreciated.

 

O...im using 10.4.7 JaS btw

 

thanks everyone

[perroncho2]

I have an acer travelmate c302MXi. No keyboard and no touchpad.

I installed 10.4.3 and 10.4.6 and nothing happend.

In 10.4.3 i can press F8 on boot, but in 10.4.6 no.

¿How can i fix this problem? because the hacked kext dont work for me.

[dongio]

Hi, I did it, it works awesome and I'm going to gave you step by step Instruction (Del Inspiron 2650)

Native Keyboard and TauchPad Works Flowless

 

1) Go to HardDisk>Applications>Utilities> (and turn on terminal)

2) (Tupe in Terminal) sundo nano /etc/rc (Push Enter)

3)(It Will Ask you Password: and type in your user pasword and push ENTER)

4)(It Will open rc file and navigation menu on the bottom, push CONTROL+V untill you go to the and of the fille)

5) (Betwan) if [ "${VerboseFlag}" != "-v" ]; then

/usr/libexec/WaitingForLoginWindow

fi

 

(Line and) exit0 (line insert this code:)

 

kextunload /System/Library/Extensions/ApplePS2Controller.kext/Contents/PlugIns/ApplePS2Keyboard.kext

kextload /System/Library/Extensions/ApplePS2Controller.kext/Contents/PlugIns/ApplePS2Keyboard.kext

6)(Push CONTROL+O, to activate saving potion, Push CONTROL+T, to activate "save to file option")

7)(navigate down and right in to a fille list untill you find "rc" file, get cursor on top of it and push enter, it'll save changes)

8)(Push Control+X, to exite rc fille)

9)(Tupe in exit in terminal, close terminal and reboot)

 

Hopefully itll be work

good luck.

[cashgrow]

it worked after the first reboot. then its gone... anybody got a solution?

Edited December 15, 2006 by cashgrow

[digiplaya2005]

Yeah: for me neither of any of these drivers available works, not even on the first boot with them enabled!

 

[Some_Person]

How can I install this without booting to OSx86? My keyboard and mouse won't work in it, so I have no way to install this.

[vitalo]

My keyboard still doesn`t work. I try a few pathes(Enchanced PS2/Hacked), tried some tricks /etc/rc. Kext loaded but keyboard doesn`t respond.

I have notebook LG LS75-p4jr and usb mouse. JAS 10.4.8. HELP ME PLEASE!

[rjtd]

I have a problem that the keyboard does not repeat the keys, if I keep pressing them.

Is there any fix for this issue?

[StormBringerSword]

My keyboard still doesn`t work. I try a few pathes(Enchanced PS2/Hacked), tried some tricks /etc/rc. Kext loaded but keyboard doesn`t respond.

I have notebook LG LS75-p4jr and usb mouse. JAS 10.4.8. HELP ME PLEASE!

Same problem on LG LS70 Express!!!

Someone can help here?

[muzzle]

Installed OSX on my Acer Extensa 2300 series (pretty old lappy) today, this kext fixed my keyboard, however only momentarily and then it randomly stops again. meh

 

 

Now on the to do list: wifi (pcmcia ralink), onboard lan, touchpad mouse, full screen resolution.

Edited February 9, 2007 by muzzle

[muzzle]

Update: Keyboard works so long as I dont touch the touchpad, onboard lan is working, pcmcia card support is not, and yet to have achieved 1280x800.

[RocKWooD]

Did not work for me. Also I lost my touch pad. It was working till. Need the original appleps2controller.kext and information for how to restore my touchpad with it. Thanks anyway good work.

[vitalo]

I`ll recomend you to visit this page(solution almost all problem)

Usefull files

 

Your touchpad stop working because you rename ApplePS2Trackpad.kext->ApplePS2Trackpad.kext.bak and it doesn`t loaded. Try command kextstat in terminal. If it didn`t show you`d rename this kext to original name ApplePS2Trackpad.kext and type kextload /System/Library/Extensions/ApplePS2Trackpad.kext.

 

 

Maybe you use conflict driver then try ALPS driver(it helped me)

[JE]

This fixed my problem with my Keyboard and Trackpad not being detected. Thanks!

 

Sony Vaio VGN-S150.

[onTecHno]

Hi!

 

I also tried this with my Asus A8N-Sli, using a PS2-Keyboard from Logitech: no success.

 

Since I don't have a USB-Keyboard I tried it with the Windows-Macdrive method, overwrote the ApplePS2 Kexts, renamed the trackpad and the mouse kexts and booted natively. I can use the keyboard during boot (he prints the keys), but after starting the graphical interface, it doesnn't work anymore.

 

TubGirlAMD1048 release.

 

I couldn't try it with the JaS release yet, because I can't integrate the nforce4sata into the dvd (some permission error {censored}).

[digiplaya2005]

I'm still left in the dark here...I noticed my FN or function keys don't work at all with my setup (gateway mx6214).

 

Keyboard/touchpad don't respond no matter what.

 

Is my PS/2 bus not being detected by my OSX 10.4.8 jas?

[prinzaali]

It worked on Sony VAIO VGN-T1XP !! I mean the patch. for the procedure I did went another road as I couldn't enter the root password in terminal with Jas 10.4.7. I rebooted under root, applied the sudo commands under Terminal and here it is ! Thank you so much SmilE !!!!
