Java Duke Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 I installed 10.4.5 on my T42, everything seems to be ok but it can't find my built-in PS/2 mouse and trackpad. External USB mouse works ok though. Please help! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/14505-1045-on-thinkpad-t42-no-built-in-mouse/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technobob Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 You need to get the ApplePS2Controller.kext from 10.4.3 for your mouse to work I'm running 10.4.5 on my T40 with this kext and the mouse works fine, don't know if the trackpad works as I have it disabled in the BIOS.

brentpresley Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 You need to get the ApplePS2Controller.kext from 10.4.3 for your mouse to work I'm running 10.4.5 on my T40 with this kext and the mouse works fine, don't know if the trackpad works as I have it disabled in the BIOS. Not true, whoever made the 10.4.5 install DVD screwed up on the file settings for this and other files. This post explains what to do: http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?sh...st=40&p=82496 The 10.4.5 mouse/keyboard kexts work fine, but this and other kexts don't have the correct file attributes so the OS does not load them. Good news is that the kexts for USB Keyboards/Mice are not messed up, so you can attach a USB keyboard/mouse and correct the problems via the instructions listed above. PS - and I KNOW this works on a T42 b/c this is what I am running 10.4.5 on right now. :-) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/14505-1045-on-thinkpad-t42-no-built-in-mouse/#findComment-92799 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Java Duke Posted April 9, 2006 Author Share Posted April 9, 2006 Great, thank you very much! I did cd /System/Library/Extensions sudo find nameofkext.kext -type d -exec /bin/chmod 0755 {} \; sudo find nameofkext.kext -type f -exec /bin/chmod 0644 {} \; for ApplePS2Controller and AppleAC97* Now it works! Did you also get wifi working and resolution set to 1400x1050? If yes, can you please share this info with the rest of us? Thank you very much again.

brentpresley Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 Wifi is a no-go. There are no drivers as of yet. For 1400x1050 there are two ways to do it, one is enter the display settings at the cursor after interrupting the Darwin boot loader, enter this: "Graphics Mode"="1400x1050x32" (with quotes) You should now boot with the specified resolution. If this works ok then you can edit the following file (as root) to make it automatic at startup. /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist and add <Key>Graphics Mode</Key> <String>1400x1050x32</String> (also for setting refresh rate you can do <String>1400x1050x32@75</String>) The only problem is you WILL get some tearing sometimes when you scroll, etc since there is not a native ATI 9600 driver. Just hit F9 twice and that should clear it up. I REALLY wish someone would get the powersaving working. Right now OSX chews through my 9-cell in about 2.5h (vs. 5.5 in XP).

axalex Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Done that.. touchpad and keyboard still doesn't work as soon as I press a key in OSx on my P7010 Fujitsu Notebook... although the mouse does work before I press any key I've read a pos regarding pressing any button will cause a kernal panic.. and i think i've seen "Timed out on keyboard input stream" and "Timed out on mouse input stream" when it is booting up. Do u think this is a permission issue on the ApplePS2Controller.kext or driver incompatble? so fustrating Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/14505-1045-on-thinkpad-t42-no-built-in-mouse/#findComment-93697 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Search in the forums, there is a Power Saving feature completed. I have it on my T42 now and it is working fine so far. I should know the how long the battery lasts by tomorrow againts the reading I am getting.

I'm using a Fujitsu T4010 Tablet the built-in mouse works fine at startup but once i hit any of the keyboard buttons, neither of them work. usb keyboard mouse work fine... but kinda retarded to carry a keyboard along with the laptop all the time Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/14505-1045-on-thinkpad-t42-no-built-in-mouse/#findComment-93737 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Write all these down at run the above proceedure for ALL of them. Then reboot. Make sure you don't mistype things, or you are hosed. I know this works on my T42, but that is the only system I have tried it on. Search in the forums, there is a Power Saving feature completed. I have it on my T42 now and it is working fine so far. I should know the how long the battery lasts by tomorrow againts the reading I am getting. I've tried that solution on my T42 and it doesn't work for me. Do you have any details on how you installed it? I MAY be getting problems becuase I installed his beta driver (that also didn't work).
