stooovie Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Hello! I have a nicely working and stable 10.6.2 Vanilla install in 32bit mode with Chameleon 2RC4 on HP XW4400 workstation with C2D, 8 GB RAM and ATI x1950 pro. One thing that bugs me is USB mouse behaviour. On some boots, it works, on other boots, it doesn't. When it does not, replugging or using other USB port does NOT help. I've trying all possible (I think, anyway) combinations of: -USB keyboard -PS2 keyboard -USB mouse -PS2 mouse -VoodooPS2controller installed and uninstalled -Kext Utility used every time Yet it seems to be completely random. USB keyboard has another glitch - it's like the FN key is always pressed, so I get numbers instead of UIOP, JKL and NM keys. Even this issue dissappeared, but just once (!), it's now back. I don't want to use old PS2 mouse because I need additional buttons of the USB one. Can anyone help? Thanks! EDIT: SOLVED! Seems removing AppleHPET.kext solved the issue. FireWire now works correctly as well and there seem to be no downsides as of yet.

Check your Bios and see if it has any setting for device enable Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/205415-solved-usb-mouse-works-randomly-on-vanilla-sl/#findComment-1374961 Share on other sites More sharing options...
stooovie Posted January 2, 2010 Author Share Posted January 2, 2010 Yes I just forgot to add that: there are no USB-related settings in XW4400 BIOS, no USB legacy mode or such. Nor can I disable PS2 in BIOS. I might just be able to change USb IRQ. Gonna try that now. Thanks anyway EDIT: No, USB mouse just doesn't work. It works on like one boot from five. It always works in Win 7 on the other partition.

stooovie Posted January 3, 2010 Author Share Posted January 3, 2010 Might this erratic behaviour be caused by bad DSDT? I didn't have to do any DSDT patching, my audio, gfx and network worked out of the box. I tried pcwiz's DSDT Patcher GUI as I am not very familiar with manual DSDT editing, but that didn't fix it. And, I noticed USB drives do not mount as well. Can anybody point me to right direction? Of course I tried to search but the search doesn't work half the time here and I couldn't find anything specific to USB anyway. Thanks!
