a2000rick Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 My also had this problem with my think pad and this fixed it. Type this in Terminal. Hope it helps you. cd /System/Library/Extensions/ApplePS2Controller.kext sudo find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \; sudo find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \; Source: http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.ph...oard_to_work.3F Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/17409-trackpad-and-keyboard-on-my-thinkpad-dont-work/#findComment-112414 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashgotti Posted May 15, 2006 Author Share Posted May 15, 2006 SIIIIIIGH it's so screwed up. if i restart my sound stops working, then i restart and and it's fine but the ps2controller.kext doesnt work again. someone has to know what's going on. i'm on .6, can someone send me the kext that works originally with .6? (i dunno if it there is a .6 one or still .5). (pm me) I don't want to reinstall my osx. please.
