I have a problem that the keyboard does not repeat the keys, if I keep pressing them.
Is there any fix for this issue?

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.

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.

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)

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

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 crap).

[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?

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 !!!!

My native notebook keyboard did not work "out of the box".

I downloaded ApplePS2 driver source from Apple's developer site, hacked them a little (added self-test to keyboard enabling method) and my notebook's keyboard (notebook: LG LS50, Centrino (SSE2 only), ATI Radeon M10 (9600)) works almost perfect.

I give no guarantee, that it'll work with your's specific keyboard, but you can try. May be I'll continue to develop this driver. I'm totally newbie to MacOSX developing, so...

How to install:

1. download attachment
2. unzip
3. copy it to /System/Library/Extensions (something like "cp -R ApplePS2Controller.kext /System/Library/Extensions/" in terminal)
4. modify owner (something like "chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/ApplePS2Controller.kext" in terminal)

before entering commands in terminal, switch to superuser mode ("su", press enter and enter password)

Reboot, unplug USB keyboard and enjoy (if you can).

 Hello!

I have got a lg S1-P151B! Do you think can will work for me?
Many thanks

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")

Hopefully itll be work
good luck.

/etc/rc method worked for me.
Desktop computer with usb mouse and ps/2 keyboard.

used a usb keyboard to make these changes.

needs some testing, though, i hope it won't freeze after 10 mins

[YureZzZ]

My system is freezinf when I have my ps/2 keybord connected. With USB everything works nice.

Will your driver solve my problem?

Well, a day passed. Driver works normally, without any problems (I work with another drivers now, so I do reboot often and so on). Even display backlight keys works (combinations with Fn key) and volume button works.

If anybody is interested - I've updated one more driver. PCCard now works for me. It's a Texas Instruments chipset. As I remember, TI7620. If anybody needs this updated driver, I can upload it here.

Please Bavaev Can you  pass me the kext PS2Controller and PCCard? Cheers
