ramzi22 Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 I have an Acer Aspire 3000 notebook which has a AMD Sempron 3000+ CPU and i finally got OS X running natively using dd to install onto a partition. I can get OSX to boot fine... i dont even need to use -x to boot into safemode which is cool. However, my touchpad mouse and keyboard dont work in OSX... if i plug in my USB mouse once OSX is loaded the mouse works... is there a way i can get my intenret mouse and keyboard working so i dont have to carry a keyboard around with my laptop to use OSX Ive heard you could fix by disabling keyboard and mouse in bios... i havent seen such an option in my bios... also, wouldnt that mean that i couldnt use my bootloader to select which OS to boot and also i wouldnt be able to reenable my keyboard and mouse in the bios... doesnt make much sense to me... is there another way?

Stefan Wouters Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 I have a different problem with my notebook (Dell Inspiron 5150, 2.8Ghz P4 (SSE2), 512Mb, GF5200GO-64M (1400x1050), 80Gb HDD, DVD burner): My touchpad works perfectly well, but my USB mouse doesn't work at all, which kind of sucks. The rest of the system works like sunshine.

Thanks - Ramzi22 <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I have the same laptop. I could not get touchpad or built-in keyboard working. I plugged in a USB Mac keyboard and my USB mouse into the keyboard. Those both worked. So I thought I have only USB and no PS2 support. Then I ran the SSE3 -> SSE2 patch version .41 After that, I rebooted. My system seemed very unstable up to this time. After the reboot, the USB keyboard and mouse didn't work, but the built-in keyboard and touchpad worked! Then I plugged the USB keyboard and mouse into a different USB port on my laptop, and all 4 devices worked! I was all happy until I came home and restarted my computer. Without the USB keyboard connected, I cannot boot my computer and have built-in keyboard or mouse. Does anyone know why I would need to have a USB keyboard plugged in at boot time in order to have PS2 keyboard and mouse work?

devorama Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 I think I kind of fixed my problem. I used the driver from this post and now it seems to work half the time. After the boot, sometimes it work, sometimes it doesn't. I can't figure out what the causes it to sometimes fail. You may want to try it. It may help you also.
