Could we get a new version of this please? The one in the topic is _not_ compatible with 10.4.4

[typera]

Seems like this is also not compatible with 10.4.5 either.

Could someone please post either recompiled (for 10.4.5) or attach the srouce and paste instructions on how to recompile?

[cyclonefr]

yeah me too im stuck with the installation of osx 10.4.5 on my VAIO notebook no mouse or keyb...i can plug a USB mouse but then how to make it work? eheh i need ur file man

[typera]

I bought a USB keyboard just to get it working but so far can't. (ie external keyboard works ok but no point using it as its bigger than the whole laptop ).

So far have downloaded the Xcode 2.2 from apple's website (so I can compile stuff), downloaded the source from Darwin 8.5, 8.4 and 8.3 but cant compile either of the three packages, keeps saying that some .h files missing in the subdirs of the source package (can confirm they are not there).

Has anyone been able to recompile an 10.4.1/10.4.3 ApplePS2Controller under 10.4.5 ?

[billmaudit]

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.

[cyclonefr]

ihope so much u guys can fix it !
thanx again

[billmaudit]

ok, I finally manage to compile ApplePS2Controlller.kext from darwin 8.4 sources. But I messed up with others kext, so I'm now reinstalling from dvd, then I'll try my new kext. I hope i don't get that damn exception 9 coprocessor segment overrun thing !!

[cyclonefr]

oh nice plz keep us informed! asap

[typera]

Any chance of posting the recompiled kext?

[billmaudit]

ok, here it is !

  Warning !

I haven't test it yet !!

So be sure, you know how to get back or have usb keyboard and mouse, or transmac to delete the kext if it doesn't work !

os X install in progress, I'll test it soon

Merci

[billmaudit]

ok, I just test it.
Works like "old" kext under vmware,
do the same error booting natively

FPU segment overrun exception in kernel thread context

I really don't know what causes that exception 9

I disassemble the ApplePS2Controller and found no FPU code in there, maybe in keyboard, mouse or trackpad kext. I have to investigate further...

Any idea is welcome

[cyclonefr]

u know what billmaudit : ive tried to use ur PS2Controller.kext on my Desktop PC working fine and it "broked" my mouse support the keyb was working fine no such error
i should try it with my VAIO notebook...but i warn u after using ur kext and switching back to the original i had a big permission error that i had to fix retyping the main Maxxuss command under -S at the darwin bootloader
maybe u should try on another computer

[billmaudit]

I kown about the mouse problem ! I had the same pb in vmware and know how to fix it. But when I came back to old kext I didn't have your "big permission error" !

[Theava]

How did that work on your viao cyclone. I think i  have the same computer as you and the keyboard and mouse do not work. Im not sure how to do the kext replacement so im interested to see if someone can get it working before I even attempt... Lemme know!

[cyclonefr]

ive got the S1XP i havent try cause changing the kext needs a rebuild of the DVD or a USB keyboard and i dont have one...also im waiting for a mouse fix from billmaudit

Hi, cannot find the link for your kext, may be you have remove it. I own a Sony Vaio S2XP and I would be interested in testing your keyboard driver, as the keyboad does not work with 10.4.5 on it. Seems that it work on CycloneFR (salut) Vaio.

Thanks

[billmaudit]

yes, I removed it because of mouse bug ! New version coming soon
