Fire30 Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I have an accer 7741z and i can't get passed the setup screen because it says i have no keyboard connected, I know a usb keyboard would work, but i dont happen to have any, is there any possible way i can get it to work? btw i am using the [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] method with the retail image.

PookyMacMan Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I don't recommend [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]... Basically you are missing the PS/2 drivers. Look for a Lion boot CD that contains PS/2 drivers. 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/278666-laptop-keyboard-works-in-installer-but-not-at-setup-screen/#findComment-1817675 Share on other sites More sharing options...

PookyMacMan Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Yes, but iAtkos is worse than the beast. Look for a retail boot CD, then you can just boot the installer partition you created. For example, I believe there is a hackboot.iso floating around. 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/278666-laptop-keyboard-works-in-installer-but-not-at-setup-screen/#findComment-1817859 Share on other sites More sharing options...

PookyMacMan Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Apparently that iso didn't include PS/2 drivers...I'll rebuild that iso with the PS/2 drivers. You can install the drivers in /System/Library/Extensions, but you'll need to make sure the permissions are correct. You can try /Extra/Extensions, but I can't remember if that'll work. 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/278666-laptop-keyboard-works-in-installer-but-not-at-setup-screen/#findComment-1818665 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am on 10.7 lol finally. Would it be worth it to upgrade to 10.7.3? or not really?
