(NEED HELP) 10.6.2 Broke Swipe - Magic Mouse

[crazyrog17]

I installed 10.6.2 to my hackintosh and found no errors other than the Swipe gesture for my Magic Mouse was not functioning. Funny because momentum scrolling and right click were. No number of restarts or .plist trashing could fix it.

 

I decided to download and install the Wireless Mouse Software Update 1.0 from Apple's download page. I figured it wouldn't let me install on an operating system past 10.6.1, but the install went through and after the restart, the Swipe gesture was reinstated.

 

Just wanted to post this for anyone who has the same difficulties as I.

 

I was too optimistic as I've come to find after a restart, swipe is still broken under 10.6.2. I can still scroll and right click, but the swipe function is still disabled. I am using a bluetooth dongle from eBay that reports as a Cambridge Silicon Radio chip.

 

In System Profiler, I see:

My Apple Bluetooth Keyboard (Aluminum, 3 Batteries) works just fine along with A2DP audio bridges and I can see and connect to my mobile phone.

 

Any thoughts/solutions?

Got my Generic Bluetooth dongle to work;

 

 

 

DevID: 0x0001

 

VendorID: 0x0a12 (Cambridge Silicon Radio Ltd.)

 

LocationId: 0x3d100000

 

After some research on the web i came to realise that the built-in BT on my Macbook used also the Cambridge Silicon Radio device. So here is what i did to make my dongle work;

 

goto /S/L/E/IOBluetoothFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/

 

edit AppleUSBBluetoothHCIController.kext/Contents/Info.plist

 

In the IOKitPersonalities section add a key block just bellow the EricssonR0K101 key block as follow;

 

 

<key>Generic BTD</key>

<dict>

<key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>

<string>com.apple.driver.AppleUSBBluetoothHCIController</string>

<key>IOClass</key>

<string>AppleUSBBluetoothHCIController</string>

<key>IOProviderClass</key>

<string>IOUSBDevice</string>

<key>bcdDevice</key>

<integer>0x3d10</integer>

<key>idProduct</key>

<integer>1</integer>

<key>idVendor</key>

<integer>0x0a12</integer>

</dict>

 

What I used for the bcdDevice is what I found in the Device Location from the system profiler.

 

And all that works for me ;-)

 

Hope it does for you guys too;
