JochiePiet Posted January 20, 2015 Author Share Posted January 20, 2015 This is your .kext, i mean what is your driver device! So it is clear that I am a newbie. I thought a kext contained a device driver. So what is the location of the device drivers? How can I answer your question? The touchpad itself is Synaptics.

Allan Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Ok. Use this: VoodooPS2Controller.kext.zip But delete your VoodooPS2Trackpad.kext, repair disk permissions and rebuild the cache. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnfesq Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 For a Synaptics Trackpad, I like RehabMan's. You can get it here: https://bitbucket.org/RehabMan/os-x-voodoo-ps2-controller/downloads 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get it here: https://bitbucket.org/RehabMan/os-x-voodoo-ps2-controller/downloads Ok. Use this: VoodooPS2Controller.kext.zip But delete your VoodooPS2Trackpad.kext, repair disk permissions and rebuild the cache. I have tried both suggestions but unfortunately without any success. I have noticed the following: - removing VoodooPS2keyboard.text, VoodooPS2Trackpad.kext and VoodooPS2Mouse.kext (all of them) does not change a thing. Laptop keeps on working as long as I do not touch the trackpad. - To install Yosemite I followed the procedure according to Hackingtosh.zone to make a bootable USB stick. If I boot through this stick I can use the touchpad, keyboard and mouse like I should. So the problem is not there. So how can I find out which kexts are in use if I have booted by means of the USB stick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 You have USB3 ports? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JochiePiet Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 Grrrrrrr. Laptop is doing allright now. I did the following: - removed: VoodooPS2Controller.kext, VoodooPS2Keyboard.kext, VoodooPS2Mouse.kext. VoodooPS2Trackpad.kext was removed in an earlier stage. - reinstalled VoodooPS2Controller.kext, VoodooPS2Keyboard.kext and VoodooTrackpad.kext (so Idid not reinstall VoodooPS2Mouse.kext) That seems to have done it. It is a bit unbelievable. Anyway thanks to Allan and mnfesq I have a fully functioning Mackintosh. Thanks again! Still I would like to know more about ACPI but have not been able to find a good basic tutorial. In a couple of days (to see if everything remains working) I will place the configuration in the laptop section. Topic can be closed as far as I am concerned. You have USB3 ports? Yes I do.

Allan Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Ok. Try use GenericUSBXHCI, and put this flags in yout boot.plist: -gux_defer_usb2 -gux_no_idle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had already done so. In fact I also have set -gux_nosleep and -gux_nomsi. Of course I do not have any clue what this means..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Try use only -gux_defer_usb2 -gux_no_idle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JochiePiet Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 Try use only -gux_defer_usb2 -gux_no_idle I did. There seems to be no difference. Laptop is still doing fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JochiePiet Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 Ok, but the trackpad not, right? The trackpad was working! Now listen and wonder.....: As said the trackpad was working, mouse and keyboard too. So everything was fine. I rebooted twice, put the laptop asleep and woke it and everything still was fine. I installed Skype and KODI . Went okay. I went away from home and when I got back and woke the laptop the fault was back! I am getting too old for this......

mnfesq Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I think what might be going on is that you have the ps2 kexts in Clover loading and they are conflicting with the VoodooPS2 kexts. Personally, I have removed the Clover PS2 drivers because RehabMan's VoodooPS2Controller.kext is far superior, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I have removed the Clover PS2 drivers because RehabMan's VoodooPS2Controller.kext is far superior, IMO. You had me convinced right away. It must be something like this. So I looked for CLOVER and found a map CLOVER. Removed three (?) ApplePSController.kext' s. Also removed : Ps2MouseDXE-64.efi and UsbMouseDxe-64.efi. Unfortunately it did not do the trick. Thank you so much though for the sensible suggestion. To me it must be something of a driver conflict, perhaps an IRQ conflict. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
