USB issues

[racketprophet]

Hi Guys, i have some minor problem im experiencing. I have 10.5.6 leopard system using XXX X86 installer and im having some minor problems with my usb. My mouse sometimes is jumpy when move it every now and then across the screen. Do i have usb issues here? What do you think is the best usb kext or patch to use here? My system is listed below:

 

Intel DQ35MP all USB ports

Core2Quad 2.4ghz

9800GT 512MB

6Gig RAM ddr2 600

Is this alway happening from boot or after sleep? I've seen this bug with 10.5.6 after sleep but it went away after I updated USB drivers to Slices. Read this topic:

 

USB 2.0 Leopard

Not really. It occurs when i do so much movement with my mouse like drag windows from here to there, scroll and click, etc.. But anyway, i will try your process.. Does this cause kernel panics after boot if its not compatible or something? I dont want to mess up things right now coz i have a project to finish..hehehe

Shouldn't cause a problem if you install them correctly but take a backup of your extensions directory as a precaution to you can get back to a known-good state quickly. This is what I do...

 

sudo -s

mkdir /Extensions_Known_to_work

cp -Rpv /System/Library/Extensions/* /Extensions_Known_to_work/

exit

 

Then play/edit/screw with your current extensions and if needed after reboot copy back to a good state if things break

 

sudo -s

cd /System/Library/Extensions

rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/*

ls -al /System/Library/Extensions <<< should show empty directory

cp /Extensions_Known_to_work/* /System/Library/Extensions/

ls -al <<< should show all extensions back in place

exit

reboot

 

You probably know it already but be careful with the paths, if you do rm -rf * in the root directory everything will get deleted.

 

If you use OS X for work/school etc. then I suggest having another working installation in another partition so if you screw things up you can always quickly boot into it and put things back to a good working state without having to fumble around for a boot or install DVD.
