Keyboards, TrackPads and Mice

This is a compilation of many of the different keyboard, trackpad and mice solutions available. It is not exhaustive. If you don't find what you want, search for it.

Please do not post questions in this thread looking for a solution that is not listed. Use other threads for that.

Please do post other good known keyboard, etc. solutions in this thread. I will try to incorporate any posted solutions into the list. Otherwise, users can read the thread for any other solutions.

Drivers

ALPS Trackpad driver - find it here and another here

Enhanced Apple PS/2 driver - find it here

Hacked Apple PS/2 driver - find it here

Keyboard Bindings and Layouts

Key Bindings - Change a few keys on your keyboard. Read this and this.

Key Bindings - Adjust sound volume up/down with Function keys using a method from Stravaganza.

Keyboard Layout (ABNT2) - Brazilian Portuguese. Go here.

Keyboard Layout (PT PT) - Portuguese. Go here.

Keyboard Layout - Make Your Own - use Ukelele. Go here.

Keyboard Shortcuts

Shortcuts available - Read this and this. You can also go to the Help menu in Finder and search on "shortcut lists".

Modify your shortcuts by going to:

System Preferences -> Keyboard & Mouse.

Change Modifier keys in Keyboard tab and change shortcuts in Keyboard Shortcuts tab. For the adventurous, review the Key Bindings entry.

Hot Keys - Many apps like Quicksilver, Butler and Proxi can set up hot keys to perform all sorts of things.

Volume control - control your volume with hot keys using an app and these Applescripts.

Keyboard & Trackpad don't work

Repair Permissions - Try the following:

Boot from install DVD and enter the installer. Select Terminal in the Utilities menu and type:

cd "/Volumes/(name-of-OSX-partition)"   <--- use quotes if name has spaces
										   - but don't use parentheses
diskutil repairPermissions ./
cd System/Library
rm -rf Extensions.mkext Extensions.kextcache
cd Extensions
find ApplePS2Controller.kext -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
find ApplePS2Controller.kext -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
chown -R root:wheel ApplePS2Controller.kext

Quit Terminal and the Installer and Reboot without the DVD

Kext Unload/Load - If repairing permissions above doesn't help, then try to modify the boot script by adding commands to unload and then reload the kexts.

Try the following:

Boot from install DVD and enter the installer. Select Terminal in the Utilities menu and type:

( -- use quotation marks in commands as shown below --)
( -- going to use some variables to cut down on typing --)

dp="/Volumes/(name-of-OSX-partition)"   <--- use quotes, no parentheses

nano "$dp/usr/bin/nano $dp/etc/rc.local"
kp="/System/Library/Extensions/ApplePS2Controller.kext/Contents/PlugIns"
kextunload "$kp/ApplePS2Keyboard.kext"
kextload "$kp/ApplePS2Keyboard.kext"
( -- press Command-O to save --)
( -- press Y and <Enter> to accept --)
( -- press Command-X to quit --)

Quit Terminal and the Installer and Reboot without the DVD

ATI Xpress 200M - According to Prasys, the USB Driver creates a confusion that disables the onboard trackpad and keyboard. To fix it, drop his kext onto your Desktop and go to Terminal and type:

cd /System/Library/Extensions
sudo mkdir usb_backup
( -- give password -- )
sudo cp -Rf IOUSBFamily.kext usb_backup/
sudo cp -Rf ~/Desktop/IOUSBFamily.kext ./
sudo chown -R root:wheel IOUSBFamily.kext
sudo chmod -R 755 IOUSBFamily.kext
cd /System/Library
sudo rm -rf Extensions.mkext Extensions.kextcache

Reboot

										   - but don't use parentheses
cd System/Library

Quit Terminal and the Installer and Reboot without the DVD

Tried this and doesnt work for me

[sianto]

I had this weird problem, when I use my usb wireless mouse (logitech), mouse movement seems fine and normal.
However, when I use my trackpad, a slight movement would cause more mouse movement than needed. So the trackpad's kinda hard to use, you have to track your finger very slowly there...

Anyone experiences this too? Anyone knows how to fix this particular trackpad issue?


My Hackintosh is Sony Vaio TZ37, ideneb 10.5.6/10.5.8
