Reiab Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 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? ~Reiab~ <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 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 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/1990-ps2-keyboard-will-not-work/#findComment-13018 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hagar Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Is there anyway I can install the PS/2 Keyboard Driver without a keyboard? 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 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/1990-ps2-keyboard-will-not-work/#findComment-13056 Share on other sites More sharing options...
