castrobaldin Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Hello So i wanted to give chimera a shot, installed it on my notebook, everything working fine except Trackpad. The preferences of Trackpad say -No Trackpad Found- so I can't modify it to be 2 fingers scroll 1 finger tap etc. I tried to add new trackpad kexts but no luck. What should I do, stay with old stable chameleon or update to the latest chimera Also, whats the difference between them Thanks (and sorry my keyboard is not on my language so there is no points) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Chameleon is at 2.1 now: http://forge.voodoop...rg/p/chameleon/ RC does not mean "remote control", it is short for "Release Candidate", as in final release. The final version of Chameleon 2.0 was released almost a year ago and so any version labelled RC is older than that. Chameleon provides some hooks for Mac OS X to work better with your PC hardware, it cannot 'drive' hardware. Therefore, Chameleon (or Chimera) have nothing to do with whether your trackpad works or not. Your trackpad needs a driver loaded for it in order to work and that doesn't happen until your operating system is up and running. Chimera is a branch of Chameleon that forms the base of [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] from TonyMac. If you want to use their product, go to their forum for support. I don't know what it does that 'vanilla' Chameleon can't do, if anything. You can compare the source code of the two by following the link above. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
castrobaldin Posted July 10, 2012 Author Share Posted July 10, 2012 So, I have a fully working OS X. I just got curious because with Chameleon the trackpad works fine but with Chimera, the same trackpad using the same kexts just don't work. About the 2.1 release, can I just install it like a normal app, overwriting the one I have right now / Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampage Dev Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Not true. Chameleon 2.1 refuses to load ps2 mouse kext. Where as Chimera does. I am trying to back trace why this is the case but I still have not found the root cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
