ibm-apple Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I have a IBM USB Keyboard and a IBM USB mouse connected to my box running OSX 10.4.4. Whenever I boot into OS X, they don't work. I have to unplug them and replug them in order to get them to work. Is there any solution to this? I'm really close to getting everything to work in OS X, and I would like to get this out of the way... It is fine in bios section, just when I get to desktop... anybody have this problem/solved? thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/10348-usb-mouse-keyboard/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibm-apple Posted February 28, 2006 Author Share Posted February 28, 2006 Do you think it could be fixed with the 10.4.3 kext's? I don't know I don't have them or I would have tried. Do you think IOUSBFamily.kext is the only file I need if I'm replacing the 10.4.4 kext? Like the IOUSBMassStorageClass.kext? Nice talking to you java script:emoticon('', 'smid_26') p.s. I tried 10.4.5 and still same problem Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/10348-usb-mouse-keyboard/#findComment-65373 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Hello, I had the same Problem with my IBM Workstation with USB Keyboard. I solved the Problem by adding the following lines to the /etc/rc file (This file is being used, when the System Boots): kextunload /System/Library/Extensions/IOUSBFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleUSBEHCI.kext kextload /System/Library/Extensions/IOUSBFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleUSBEHCI.kext This unloads some USB Kernel extension and then reloads it. Just like unplugging your Keyboard/Mouse and the re-plugging it... So the last lines of the /etc/rc - File now look like this: touch /var/run/.systemStarterRunning if [ "${VerboseFlag}" != "-v" ]; then /usr/libexec/WaitingForLoginWindow fi kextunload /System/Library/Extensions/IOUSBFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleUSBEHCI.kext kextload /System/Library/Extensions/IOUSBFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleUSBEHCI.kext exit 0 Regards Richard Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/10348-usb-mouse-keyboard/#findComment-85256 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhonnypolak Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Hi. I have a DFI LanParty NForce4 Ultra-D motherboard, and i'm having the same problem. I have to unplug and replug my mouse and keyboard each time osx boots up. I tried the trick above unloading and loading the kext: AppleUSBEHCI.kext but it doesn't seem to work for me I still have to unplug / replug the mouse and keyboard. Can anyone help ?

Hooner Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Try the same trick above, but with the following kext instead: AppleUSBOHCI.kext This worked for me with my Microsoft USB wireless keyboard.

jhonnypolak Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 I have tried it with that, but what happens when i do use the kext mentioned by you, while OSX is loading, and the blue bar fills up from left to right, it gets stuck somwhere half way and thats it.... GAME OVER MAN !!! GAME OVER !!!!!!! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/10348-usb-mouse-keyboard/#findComment-101967 Share on other sites More sharing options...
