From the original article (that I apparently am not allowed to link to) at the Chameleon site...


Features
     - No need for ACPIPS2Nub.  Delete it before installing this or you'll get a kernel panic –  Loadable from /Extra/Extensions.mkext – 102-key keyboard support –  support for mixed usb/ps2 configurations – Resolution fix for PS2mouse  (set ForceDefaultResolution to true in  Contents/Plugins/VoodooPS2Mouse.kext/Info.plist to activate) – Support  for scrolling on ALPS (untested) – Support  for Sentelic touchpad (untested) – Advanced Synaptics touchpad. All  kinds of scrolling known to humanity including multi-finger and side  scrolling

    
Download
     You can get the installer package here: VoodooPS2Controller-0.98-installer.pkg

    
Installation
     Just install as any kext with kexthelper or add it to /Extra/Extensions.mkext

    
Configuration
     Many features may be controlled using Apples Preference Pane
  For more configuration you may want to have a look at
  Contents/Plugins/VoodooPS2Trackpad.kext/Info.plist
  and at IOKitPersonalities/Synaptics Touchpad/Configuration node.
  The same settings are also available through dedicated panel (optional)

Thanks for the news !

I just installed this on my system and, so far, works great!  I use Chameleon v2rc1 to boot with kext in /Extra/extensions.mkext.  I removed ApplePS2Controller and PS2nub, inserted VoodooPS2Crontroller, remade the mkext and rebooted the system.  All is good.  Without the patched PS2Controller and PS2nub the system would boot but the mouse/keyboard were inop.  So, I know VoodooPS2Controller works

Many thanks!

Oh, this is nice. Too bad I got rid of my reliance of PS/2 when I bought my Apple Aluminum Slim Keyboard and Mighty Mouse.

[jinnggoff]

Wow, works great  
and 2 finger scrolling works great too   .
Many thanks Voodoo team, you are my hero.

[Napster]

I tried. And it crashed at massive message: "VoodooPS2Keyboard: unexpected acknownledge PS2 Controller"

[lastowl]

[xanderon]

big thnx guys. my system is getting more and more voodoo infected
voodoobattery, voodoopower, voodoops2 very nice.

finally the right german keyboard layout to use happy happy happy
and no more FFscroll

but how about a manual or readme for all possible tweaks and settings in the prefpane?

[tormentor]

I got an uber kernel panic too , even without acpips2 and appleps2.

Edit:

I had to find acpips2 under appleacpiplatform, now it's working

[gprince]

Works great for me too on synaptics 6.2
Multi finger scrolling very smooth.

A big thanks to the Voodoo team

+1 (synaptics trackpad)

BlackCH, uncheck Dragging option in trackpad settings and its ok, but then u cant drag using pad (synaptic here too)

also, keyboard doesnt work in single user mode sometimes (uknown sense code (0x00))

[BlackCH]

hey netkas; I posted the dock bug on the voodoo forum. hope they fix it although isnt something too bad...actually I didnt notice until you mentioned it.

I booted a couple of times on single user mode but the keyboard seems to work fine for me....

[sama7896]

make sure you remove :
/System/Library/Extensions/AppleACPIPlatform.kext/Contents/PlugIns/ACPIPS2Nub.kext
/System/Library/Extensions/AppleACPIPS2Nub.kext
/System/Library/Extensions/ApplePS2Controller.kext

I made the mistake of leaving the first one, thus the errors

[SaCleoCheater]

Wow.. this is great! even supports scrolling!

[Davirus]

Dont matter what I do, I still getting kernel panics =/
I already formated 5 times and try it 5 times, always kernel panics ><

Im sure it should work fine, not sure what Im doing wrong...

1.- Removed "ApplePS2Controller.kext" and "ACPIPS2Nub.kext"
2.- Install "VoodooPS2Controller" using the self installer application from the official site.
3.- Repair permissions.
4.- Reboot
5.- Kernel Panic

Did the steps you took include reboot with kernel flag "-f" to prevent using the cached kext in the Extensions.mkext file?  If not, you could still be loading the old apple kext even though you deleted them.
