PS/2 Keyboard will not work...

[Reiab]

So, as the title says, my PS/2 Keyboard refuses to work...And I don't have a USB keyboard...any tips?

 

Is there anyway I can install the PS/2 Keyboard Driver without a keyboard?

I had the same problem when used ps/2 keyboard and USB mouse. If you just connect USB mouse to PS/2 port (there are a lot of connectors) evrything works fine

This one intrigued me..

 

If you have another machine with ssh (a linux box or windows with putty, for instance) you can go to System preferences / Internet & Network / Sharing & turn on remote login.

 

ssh in with your client & you can do:

(you will need to be root, either through su - or sudo)

cp /Path/To/ApplePS2Controller.kext /System/Library/Extensions
chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/ApplePS2Controller.kext
chmod 755 /System/Library/Extensions/ApplePS2Controller.kext

as described elsewhere on this forum.

 

(From memory, excuse me if that's incorrect)

 

 

 

Good Luck
