arx160le Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Is there any way that i can use my PS/2 mouse during installation of OS X lion? I've been told that i need a usb mouse because lion doesn't support PS/2. I am using iAtkos L2. Is it possible to use a usb mouse just for installation, and then use the PS/2 mouse with the required kext afterwards?

3.14r2 Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Is there any way that i can use my PS/2 mouse during installation of OS X lion?You need a properly working PS/2 driver to be present on the installation media (either OS X DVD or boot cd if you use one).I've been told that i need a usb mouse because lion doesn't support PS/2.By default OS X doesn't support PS/2 at all. Its not the Lion's "feature".I am using iAtkos L2. Is it possible to use a usb mouse just for installation, and then use the PS/2 mouse with the required kext afterwards?Yes, it is. Provided you will install PS/2 driver afterwards.

There is a ps/2 driver included on iAtkos L2, but my ps/2 mouse doesn't work. Can i manually add the kext to the iatkos disk image? if so, how?

buoo Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 You can't do it, but you could try using a cdboot with voodooPS/2controller + Snow Leopard Retail.

I suggest you a mouse usb If i use a usb mouse, will i be able to use a ps/2 keyboard, because what's weird is that the keyboard works for me during the installation of iAtkos L, but the mouse doesn't. Do you think i can find a way to install iAtkos L using just the keyboard?
