rudie_techie Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 I'm trying to install Snow Leopard Installation. I have tried multiple OSes including harzard and the latest iAtkos S3 v2. But nothing seems to work. Also tried the original Mac DVD with [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]. The problem is from the start USB mouse works and i followed the steps and install Snow Leopard on a partition but now am at the registration part and m stuck here... PS2 Keyboard isn't working. Is it necessary to use both USB or both PS2? I dont want to spend on the keyboard atm as i am very found of this keyboard. Please advice... I have been doing all the crazy stuffs with multiple OS booting but this is kinda new... Thanks in advance... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudie_techie Posted October 8, 2010 Author Share Posted October 8, 2010 First of all... thanks a lot for your quick replies... You can find an ApplePS2Controller.kext on kext.com. For me it works ... I tried this... not workin for me... However i completed my Snow Leopard installation somehow. Well the "somehow" is : i plugged in a ps2 mouse and unplugged the usb mouse... keyboard started but ps2 mouse didn't work at all... while the system is still on i plugged in the USB mouse and now both PS2 keyboard and USB mouse workin. When i reboot i have to plug in the PS2 mouse else the keyboard wont work and the PS2 mouse isn't workin anyway... So the bottom line : I have to use the USB mouse, but in order to make my PS2 keyboard work, i need to attach a PS2 mouse which will not work but only act as a catalyst for the PS2 keyboard to work... now this is fishy... any permanent fix for this? I cant keep 2 mouse at a time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a new USB keyboard... now i have both USB keyboard & mouse... so everything is solved for now... thank you all for your replies...
