GDMorry Posted April 17, 2011 Author Share Posted April 17, 2011 WoW I got my HP Pavilion 2114tx running 10.6.3 Driver issues were to be expected LOL But I am impressed. Great job and Awesome work to all involved in this project. I found that my touchpad worked ok booting from MammothDVxtBCDv1.15a_i5i3 and all through creating my XIID and MIID (used MIIF_DVx_i5i3-Generic_v2.00.03.dmg) After booting from my MIID I found I could no longer use the touchpad and had to plug in a usb mouse it was detected and worked but only on the right side = Left side USB ports do not work at all DV6_2114tx.zip Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/254715-osx-n00b-with-hp-pavilion-dv6-2114/#findComment-1671431 Share on other sites More sharing options...
