No mouse or trackpad working. Asus N53J Laptop

[morgala]

Ok so this is getting a little frustrating now. I have read a lot and tried a lot but had no luck. When I try and install my usb mouse is not recognized and neither is my track-pad. I have an Asus N53J lapptop with an i5 460m and Nvidia GT 425M.

 

I am using the latest [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] with chameleon 2.0 RC5

 

So far this is what I have tried:

BIOS

USB legacy Enabled/Disabled

Track-pad Enabled/Disabled

 

Chameleon boot flags

-x

USBBusFix=Yes

GUI=No (was hoping for no GUI so I could manually initialize HDD)

 

 

The problem is that without a mouse I can't run the disk utilities to format the drive to continue with the install. I am guessing that I need some extra Kext's installed but without access to a shell (remember GUI=No didn't work) then I am screwed.

 

I could not find a way to add kext's from the chameleon boot flags.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have the same system - ASUS N53J. I was successful getting it up and running with osx86 except my video resolution is 1024x726. Here's how I did it.

1. Boot with tonymac's [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]

2. Swap DVD with iATKOS s3 v2 and press F5 to recognize DVD

3. Install with the following:

- Bootloader: AsereBLN v1.1.9

- Bootloader Options: pc-1, Ethernet, USB

- Patches /Extra directory, fakesmc, Disabler, RTC

- Bootloader Options: Modified Kernels: qoopz 10.3.0

- Drivers: Main Hardware: SATA/IDE: AHCI SATA

- Drivers: Sound

- Drivers: PS/2

- Drivers: CPU Power Management

- Drivers: Laptop Hardware

- Drivers NTFS-3G

- Network

 

When booting from HD, I user the following boot options: busratio=20 cpus=1. I user a Targus, wireless mouse and it works just fine. Now, I just have to get my osx86 working with the correct kext for the NVidia 425M and I'm all set. Good luck!

Use nowcom boot cd for direct touchpad support.

or try with a different usb mouse (worked with a BT Logitech mouse for me)
