seano Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 hi, try these commands line by line in your terminal (copypaste them or dragdrop them) I hope this will help. sudo diskutil repairPermissions / sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/ApplePS2Controller.kext sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/ApplePS2Controller.kext kextload /System/Library/Extensions/ApplePS2Controller.kext kextcache -k /System/Library/Extensions/ You also need to make sure you have root enabled to install the kext. here is a simple way to enable root: 1) Open NetInfo Manager 2) Select "Users" from the second list. 3) Select a user you created andnd know the password for! 4) Double-click on the value across from "passwd" and copy it. It is the encoded form of the password for that user. 5) Select "root" from the list of users. Find the "passwd" value (default is "*") and paste over it. 6) Exit Netinfo Manager. 7) Open the Terminal and type "su root". 8) Enter the password for the user chosen above.
