Hi there,

 

I've just read the whole topic, but I've got one question for my specific problem:

 

I've got a LG R200RCP22B, and installed Kalyway 1.5.2 + WinXPSP2.

Well, my trackpad works great but the keyboard don't want to do it, so... what .kext I have to install?... (I can't download the update 1.5.4 ... no internet connection...)

 

Many thanks in advance....

Hi Chun-Nan,

 

I've an Acer Travelmante TM6592G laptop.

 

I've tried several PS2 driver but none of those work with my laptop.

 

Another user on this forum get same problem after an upgrade from his bios to the latest version of bios same on my laptop.

 

Latest bios like mine seems to have upgraded Embedded Controller firmware and isn't possible to downgrade.

 

so on driver loading I get:

 

ApplePS2Controller: Timed out on keyboard input stream.

ApplePS2Controller: Timed out on keyboard input stream.

ApplePS2Controller: Timed out on keyboard input stream.

ApplePS2Controller: Timed out on keyboard input stream.

 

Windows says I've the keyboard on 0x60/0x64 irq1 and touchpad/trackpad on irq12.

 

Ioreg under osx shown all driver with correct irq.

Can you help me to solve the problem?

May increasing the timeout solve the problem?

 

Thank you

 

E.

How do I know if the current AppleACPIPS2NUB works?

 

Thanks

 

Hi Blarneystone,

 

I think it works or you may note be able to use your PS/2 devies at all.

Hi swiftprince,

 

Go the post #67 and you will the kexts you need for your LG.

 

Use ApplePS2Controller.ANSI if you have ANSI keyboard

Use ApplePS2Controller.ISO if you have ISO keyboard.

Chun-Nan thanks for getting back to me.

 

I did as you suggested with no effect. Still keyboard but no trackpad. Then I checked system.log:

 

kernel[0]: Extension "com.apple.driver.AppleACPIPlatform" has immediate dependencies on both com.apple.kernel and com.apple.kpi components; use only one style.
kernel[0]: AppleACPICPU: ProcessorApicId=0 LocalApicId=0 Enabled
kernel[0]: AppleACPICPU: ProcessorApicId=1 LocalApicId=1 Enabled
kextd[80]: a link/load error occured for kernel extension /System/Library/Extensions/ApplePS2Controller.kext/Contents/PlugIns/ApplePS2Trackpad.kext
kextd[10]: can't find extension with id com.apple.driver.ApplePS2Trackpad
kextd[89]: a link/load error occured for kernel extension /System/Library/Extensions/ApplePS2Controller.kext/Contents/PlugIns/ApplePS2Mouse.kext

 

I'll do some more testing to see what's up.

Thanks Chun-Nan, I will try with the ISO one, and cross my fingers... ;)

And.... very good work to all of you... my congratulations.

I've got the same laptop and the same problem. PS/2 keyboard and touchpad never worked under OSX, no matter what the firmware version is. In one of my previous installs I tried changing the timeout values in the source code, but didn't get any different behaviour.

 

[OT: Anyway, it feels good to know I'm not the only one 6592G owner ... ]

Hey, great work on this ps/2 stuff. Just had a question about us MSI Wind users.

 

The Wind is a great little machine and has a super fast sleep/wake. However I think this causes a problem with the ps/2 trackpad where on system wake the trackpad runs at full speed for about 5-10 seconds. Then some of the keyboard functionality will stick for a couple seconds as well.

 

Is there a way to change a setting in PS2Controller to adjust this?

 

 

Thanks for everything! :)

So I edited the source for ApplePS2SynapticsTouchPad

 

 

 //
		// Must not issue any commands before the device has
		// completed its power-on self-test and calibration.
		//

		IOSleep(100);

		setTouchPadModeByte( _touchPadModeByte );

 

I edited the IOSleep number from 1000 to 100, I also tried 500 as well. This did significantly lower the waking speed on the trackpad which is nice. However the keyboard still acts wonky until I press a key. An example of this is tying to minimize a window by double clicking anywhere on the top of the window. This function doesn't work until I tap a key on the keyboard.

 

EDIT: It might have just been luck of the draw. Trackpad is still taking about 5-10 seconds to function at proper speed on system wake. :)

 

Thanks,

Hi stellarola,

 

You can try to add reset code after waking up from sleep to see if it helps.

Mind showing me an example? :)

 

Thanks,

Hi Stellarola,

 

You can try to add this code before "IOSleep(1000)" to see if it helps.

 

 PS2Request * request = _device->allocateRequest();
 if (request)
 {
   request->commands[0].command = kPS2C_SendMouseCommandAndCompareAck;
   request->commands[0].inOrOut = kDP_SetDefaults;
   request->commandsCount = 1;
   _device->submitRequestAndBlock(request);
   _device->freeRequest(request);
 }

Hey Chun Nan,

 

So I added that bit of code like you said. Didn't seem to effect the super fast trackpad on system wake. Also, I still need to press a key on the keyboard before I can minimize a window by clicking the top it.

 

Any other ideas by chance?

 

Really, thanks again for taking the time. I really appreciate your work. :)

Hello all... hello chun-nan

 

The ApplePS2Controller.ISO works for me :angel:

 

I want to do a little remark with my experience:

When I installed the ApplePS2Controller.ISO, both keyboard and touchpad went down (it doesn't work) so, I attach a USB Keyboard and mouse to try another solution.... so, in the other hand, I've got a ATI X2300 video card, and trying its kext to get 1280x800 ... in the solution, I have to use a tool called "Kext Helper" that helps with the kext installation, fixing the filesystem rights, etc... So... when I put the ATI kext, and fixed the filesystem rights (and I think, that the tool cleansthe kextcache also...) nor the video card works at 1280x800, instead, the keyboard and touchpad works finally without booting with the -f parameter.

 

So I think, everyone must use these tool to do a correct kext's installation.

 

Once again, Chun-Nan... thank you very much with your help.

My notebook is a LG R200 RCP22B (sold in the EU market)

keyboard working during install but after when I load it doesn't

found a small fix click sleep and it will try to sleep but won't be able to and comes right on and then it lets me use the keyboard

any way to avoid the sleep process?

If I sleep the computer it comes right back on and when I try to shutdown I have to hold the power button after to turn it off........

Hi

I have tried a bunch of different things to get my Keyboard working

I have a PS/2 Keyboard and a USB Mouse.. I have tried all the stuff on this thread.. iv tried the installer fix made by ~pcwiz

Nothing at all makes my keyboard work.

On bootup if I use -v then it says ApplePS2Controller: Time out on mouse stream

thats it

 

I am using AppleACPIPlatform 1.2.1 fixed for the restart bug

Any suggestions would be great..

Thanks

Hi Chun Nan,

 

Is there anyway to debug ApplePS2Controller?

I've tried many PS2 kexts but they always make my system starts up slower, or hang whenever I install ApplePS2Controller.

And sometimes it works, almost not.

 

I'm using HP laptop dv6205/dv AMD with Japanese keyboard.

 

Thanks.
