I'm running 10.5.2 on my Gateway ML6720 Laptop and the install went fine. I had to use a USB keyboard to complete the installation because the onboard keyboard wasn't working, but the trackpad was working fine. So, after it was done I went to work trying to fix the keyboard, but nothing seemed to work. I tried every solution in the How To - Keyboards, Trackpads, etc. thread, but still I've had no luck. Everything from the boot DVD Terminal had absolutely no effect and all the hacked and enhanced drivers did was break the trackpad, but didn't get the keyboard working? I've tried the Kalyway, iATKOS, Leo4All, and even the beta JaS release with the methods, and still nothing. Could it possibly be because I'm running Leopard on a external USB drive? Because I wanted to make sure I could get it to work there before I moved it onto my laptop. Also, now because I lost use of the trackpad while trying to fix it I'm also using a USB mouse. In the beginning, verbose mode would show ApplePS2Trackpad: Synaptics Touchpad 6.2

 

Is there some other solution I could try to get both the keyboard and trackpad working?

 

Here's the specs from the Gateway website if it helps...
