jalavoui Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 this are the drivers for the keyboard and trackpad of a hp g7000 for mac os x86 10.5.3 maybe this work for other laptops i've made the trackpad driver because the appleps2mouse as a random behavior - sometimes it enables the trackpad sometimes don't to install: - backup old ApplePS2Controller.kext - install this one (it doesn't have suport for ps2 mouse - if you need it install from the old one but if you do so the trackpad won't work) - repair permissions - reboot - goto system preferences - i've setup my trackpad like in this picture - to use the keyboard - choose in sys prefs - international - input menu you country flag (mine is pt) - i'm not shore if this is a mac os x or a driver feature (from my old acer driver) but pressing "fn+prt sc" pops up a arrow for screen capture. after that the picture is copied to memory and you can paste it i might change some code for the trackpad driver - the code seems to be very old and have a few bugs. the hor/vert scroll code work but need some changes the source code of all this is in http://code.google.com/p/iwidarwin/ svn tree download last version from http://code.google.com/p/iwidarwin/source/...roller.kext.zip this includes the keyboard and trackpad extensions i've seen lots of drivers like this in the forum. maybe it's time to add a new hardware session for all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davejones Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Hello, Jalavoui's kext works almost perfectly for me. Keyboard is fine, and very importantly the tab under "System Preferences" called "Trackpad" FINALLY appears, but unfortunately I cannot get any response from the Trackpad (Synaptics). However, if I use any other "ApplePS2Controller" kext, the "Trackpad" tab disappears but the trackpad does semi works. The reason I need this kext is because currently with working kexts the trackpad operates very fast & inaccurately (even set at slowest setting) it behaves very animated & jumpy as it can't go diagonally in a straight line but instead go down in small steps and is very fidgety. PLEASE, please somebody help, I have spent over a week looking for a solution, but cannot find much matching my problem let alone a fix... Hardware: HP Compaq 2510p Trackpad = Synaptics Thanks, davejones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
