r1shot Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Hello all just want to share my 2 bits experience with Leopard on an external over 10.4.9 Uphuck. 1) No Boot loading problem b/c installed over 10.4.9. 2) Better graphic compared to Tiger. Hold this thought. 3) XPS1210M thread for Ethernet still valid. 4) Audio work except the patch should be v 1.5 with same old dump. Still not working: 1) Wireless Card. 2) Card reader. Problem: 1) Control of trackpads. "Solution REMOVE Natit.kext and solve problem!!" No more res. more tham1024x768. Small price. I have tried every flavour of Natit.kext, NO GO! Cost me reinstall x 6. Told you to hold that thought. Otherwise Leopard is definitely a better OS than previous ones.

Foodie Monster Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 I'm running Leopard 10.5, Flat Image, and only one thing doesn't work: my Genius USB Keyboard. It detects it, as like it knows there's something plugged in, but no keystroke registers at all, and the lights for CAPS and stuff never turn on or off. I am lucky enough to have an old G3 Keyboard here which works like a charm, but I'd like to have only ONE keyboard on this PC Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergiales Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Hi, I have both keyboard and mouse with PS/2 connector. I'm running Leopard 10.5.1, and only the keyboard works. I'm nearly desperated with mouse. If someone could throw some light to my problem, it would be appreciated. Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluetooth/usb -keyboard and mouse works fine! Can anybody help? I use a Dell Vostro 1700 The Natit.kext in the Extension folder is the culprit. Took me awhile to figure out. Do this and you will get both back. Go to terminal.

Josh C Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 I'm using Tiger 10.4.1, Deadmoo's image. I know its pretty old, so does my PC. But thats what i've been downloading all time and won't bother to download another one. My keyboard's not working because it's a PS/2. I need to patch it with Maxxuss patch. I've found the patch but i need an input device to work with. The mouse could work, but it couldn't serve as the enter key. I tried Virtual Keyboards but it won't work, like Itunes. I've even tried the Widget Virtual Keyboard, same thing. I've even tried installing the .kext files, it turns out that it was already built in. To replace it, i need to type the password, to do that, i need keyboard. I've even bought a PS/2 to USB converter, OSX found the keyboard, told me to press the key to the right of the Shift key, which was probably Z, but i've wait 'bout 3 minutes nothing changes. Anybody has any more ideas? Because my head is gonna blow just to figure this out. And I'm not gonna buy a new keyboard just for this. I just bought this one recently.

macgirl Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 One of the little advantages of old Mac OS X is that they are more compatible with VMware, try to run with VMware, and since you have the Deadmoo Image you can put it directly on VMWare, patch it and the transfer it to your hard Disk. More Ideas? Yes, an USB Keyboard, a PS2 Mouse, a friend with a different PC, Mac Drive to put your files from Windows, read more solutions on the forum.

Josh C Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 I found a way to patch the Maxxuss patch. Now, i'd like to know how to install .kext files "properly". Everytime I replace the original ApplePS2Controller.kext file and restart, three pop-ups came in, "The system extension “/System/Library/Extensions/ApplePS2Controller.kext“ was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product’s vendor for an update." "The system extension “/System/Library/Extensions/ApplePS2Controller.kext/Contents/PlugIns/ApplePS2Trackpad.kext“ was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product’s vendor for an update." "The system extension “/System/Library/Extensions/ApplePS2Controller.kext/Contents/PlugIns/ApplePS2Mouse.kext“ was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product’s vendor for an update." But the keyboard worked. When I restart it again, the keyboard won't work. And only the first message poped-up. Anyone can help me again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macgirl Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 the way to set permission on kexts are: chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions chmod -r 755 /System/Library/Extensions almost any installation guide say this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonknuck Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 I'm using the Zephyroth Leopard 10.5.2 install and I have followed the steps here for using a ps/2 keyboard with a usb mouse, but I still need to have a ps/2 mouse plugged in for me to be able to use my ps/2 keyboard. Is there anything else I can do in order to get my ps/2 keyboard working without needing a ps/2 mouse plugged in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macgirl Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Maybe is not the ApplePS2 kext but the AppleACPIPlatform.kext you are using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A4d669 Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I used the PS/2 Keyboard, USB mouse method and it worked perfectly.

oviradoi Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 I have tried 3 methods: 1)disable the trackpad and ps2mouse 2) the Enhanced Apple PS/2 driver 3) the Hacked Apple PS/2 driver None of them work The weird thing is that when I used the Enhanced Apple PS/2 driver, the system booted, the GUI loaded, and I got a messagebox saying that the kext was not installed correctly and it can't be used. This is how I copied it: booted in "-s" mode, copied it to "/system/library/extensions", chown-ed and chmod-ed it, and deleted the extensions.mkext file. If this is not the correct method, what is the correct method to install it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoneboi Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I had trouble getting the mouse and trackpad on my Thinkpad T60 working after updating from 10.5.1 to 10.5.1. After trying several things, a combination of the Fixed PS2 driver and replacing AppleACPIPlatform.kext with the 10.5.1 version seemed to do the trick.
