hi

 

i've been trying to get my ps/2 keyboard mouse working and have installed bunch of different kexts with kextutility and some even had self installers but i haven't had any luck with them (Using USB keyboard/mouse at the moment)

 

How do i find out which kexts are being loaded and unload/uninstall/delete them?

 

Thanks

kextstat | grep -v com.apple

 

Remove the unnecessary kexts and rebuild caches.

is using finder in /system/library/extensions and "move to trash" alright way to remove them?

 

and rebuild caches i just run kextutility?

Yes. This command shows all non-apple drivers that currently loaded, some of them may be installed in your /System/Library/Extensions and some in /Extra. Just make sure not to remove something that you need, or else you may render your system unbootable.
