Jason Adams Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 after much fighting to get osx working on my dell inspiron 531 i finally have a mostly working system. the problem i have is the y axis is inverted on the mouse somehow. i dug into the voodoops2 kext im using and set inverty -> true but this had no effect. i beleive the core of the problem is im not using the correct io kext for the chipset but really don't know where to go from here. i did a google search and followed instruction from a thread in an infinitemac thread -> http://osx86.co/f4/10-6-on-dell-inspiron-531-help-t5698/ with the exception i am using a separate cham partition like i have on my dv7 following mammoths guide. initially when i got everything working i had no mouse at all. so i downloaded [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] and installed a few kext thru that. after doing chamextup , pfix & reboot i had a somewhat useable mouse. no plug & play for usb devices (thumb drives) & no sound. i'm attaching my kexts & other files can someone look at it & give me some pointers? files.zip Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/249990-dell-531-inverted-mouse-movement/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
gehrc Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Have you tried another PS/2 Driver besides Voodoo? Depending on the distro you used to install, some of them have several others to pick from that you may want to try.

Depending on the distro you used to install, some of them have several others to pick from that you may want to try. initially i was using the apple ps2 kext from my other hack but on boot i had no keyboard or mouse. i will try others and report the status. i was thinking it may have been a chipset driver or something cause my usb ports dont work either.

They're probably related in that way then. During the install you also have the option to install optional USB kexts if something like that happens. Maybe that's the way to go first?

bertmannaustria Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 if that's the case i'm switching back to windows.....not!!! it sure is annoying tho lol in your case it is a driver error i guess btw you can deactivate it in lion but i think it's cool, it's like scrolling on an iphone or ipad Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/249990-dell-531-inverted-mouse-movement/#findComment-1650781 Share on other sites More sharing options...
