olvko Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 After long strugle I managed to upgrade my 10.5 to Snow Leopard on Asus F3Sc. But Login window is all I get - my PS/2 keyboard does not work. I've already tride something like dozen different kexts - VoodooPS2, ApplePS2, PS2Nub, in both /System/Library/Extensions and /Extra/Extensions - but none of them worked. Does any of you have some solution for me? That's really annoying that osx86 world still didn't managed to solve basic keyboard problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olvko Posted September 27, 2009 Author Share Posted September 27, 2009 They didn't work. I checked both /Extra/Extensions and normal Extensions folder, ownership and attributes are OK. None of this kext seemed to load as there was no text about them in verbose mode. Any other ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olvko Posted September 27, 2009 Author Share Posted September 27, 2009 It doesn't work as well. I made an update to 10.6.1 and suddenly it started to work. But after mixing with more aditional kext it does'nt work PS/2 kext anymore. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maniac10 Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Try to install them in /System/Library/Extensions I had a couple of kexts that would not work from the extra folder, though they reported to be loaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panshie Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Try this. http://forum.voodooprojects.org/index.php?...amp;topic=718.0 This Work just Fine, I put them in the extra folder. I'm on a P5K-E Wifi-AP. I installed retail using this guide (See it here) about an hour ago. Working well on 32 and 64 kernel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olvko Posted September 30, 2009 Author Share Posted September 30, 2009 I tried and sometimes it works. But usually they do not load during startup and loading them later does not activate keyboard. Can I somehow force them to load at every boot time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olvko Posted October 10, 2009 Author Share Posted October 10, 2009 I still didn't get the issue. VoodooPS2Controller (all compiled versions I found on net) hardly ever loads on my snow leopard and I have no idea why. No I am using leopard 32-bit orginal VoodooPS2Controller and everythings work, but this means my snow leopard works only under 32-bit kernel. Does any of you have sourcecode of VooodooPS2Controller 64-bit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabman Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Sometimes I think hardware is the solution, and not software, as in this case. For KVM switches I use Tripp-Lite's USB to PS/2 converter model B015-000 You plug your PS/2 keyboard and mouse into it, it plugs into a USB port. Works flawlessly every time! (To clarify, you don't need to use these gadgets with KVM switches - just plug it into your Mac, or your Hack, and it flies in the face of PS/2 incompatibility, no restart needed) They're also not too expensive if you search online for a good deal.

Nice tip... Since Snow install have only been able to get the PS2 keyboard to work so have extra mouse. Both Amazon and Newegg have this model for reasonable price and in both cases reviews are perfect scores. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
