zeamp Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 I just purchased a new Gateway M6843 and it's working *almost* perfectly. The only thing I can't get working is the onboard keyboard. The trackpad worked great, even after installation but to complete installation and to use it, I need to plug in an external keyboard. The computer has no PS2 ports on it, so the KB I used was a USB one. After installing, it boots up to the "No Keyboard" screen. Plug a USB keyboard in and it's good to go. I've tried a few different solutions from attempting (poorly) to modify ApplePS2Controller to loading and re-loading ApplePS2Keyboard. I will note that ApplePS2Keyboard isn't loaded during boot, probably because there are no PS2 ports on the laptop -- just USB. Any ideas on how to get this functional? I've seen a few posts of people modifying the original ApplePS2Controller to get things rolling, but what do you suggest I do? Thanks.

zeamp Posted July 14, 2008 Author Share Posted July 14, 2008 I've tried just about every fix, hack, file, option I could find from re-writing ApplePS2Keyboard to probe it correctly, to ACPIP2Nub, to hacked ApplePS2Controllers, AppleACPIPlatforms, -f -legacy, cpus=1, you name it -- nothing works on this Gateway M6843 to get the internal PS2 keyboard to work.

PhilbertHFZ Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 God, I'd have a similar problem with my Gateway ML6732 laptop. Recognizes the trackpad. I installed and did first boot using a borrowed USB keyboard, but I'd rather get the internal keyboard working. I've tried several supposed fixes (put this in your Extensions folder, fix permissions, sacrifice a live chicken to the dark gods and pray that it works! - you know the drill), and nothing seems to make the internal keyboard work. Searching turns up nothing useful. Anybody have a solution?

~Eureka Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Hi, You can try the ApplePS2Controller on the post #47 of the following link to see if the keyboard will work or not. http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...40&start=40 Chun-Nan Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/115321-trouble-with-laptop-keyboard/#findComment-843073 Share on other sites More sharing options...
