[Help] No mouse during installation using opencore

[BakaPhoenix]

Hello,

I'm trying to install catalina using open core on my legacy setup that made by:

Intel Xeon X3440 (Lynnfield)

Gigabyte H55M-USB3

Sapphire R9 270X

Samsung 840 SSD

 

the installer load fine until i get to this animation that tell me to turn on my mouse/trackpad

Keyboard lights are on but mouse ones aren't.

I tried multiple thing so far but nothing really worked:

I tried patching EUSB to EH01 and USBE to EH02;

Xchi-unsupported kext;

XhciDxe.efi in drivers;

The big sur on legacy patch found here https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/troubleshooting/extended/userspace-issues.html#keyboard-and-mouse-broken-in-big-sur (you never know might works on catalina too...);

 

 

I have no idea on where to put hand now I hope someone can help me with this

Posting my EFI folder in case someone have the time to check it

EFI.zip

 

Thanks!

Nope nothing change pressin esc or waiting for a bit, but i noticed that if i plug off the keyboard and replug it it just wont turn on so the problem might be the usb not only the mouse

I notice that you use a macpro 6.1 SMBIOS， but it is not fit for your mainboard.  Maybe you can try another SMBIOS like macpro 5.1 ，with boot arg '-no_compat_check' and patched dsdt. 

DSDT-GA-H55M-USB3-F11.aml

After changing smbios and using that dsdt (made it into a ssdt-ec using ssdttime) still don't works, i tried removing my bluetooth dongle and the installation goes to the main menu but still no mouse and keyboard working so i can't continue the installation

Hay BakePhoenix did you ever get this working? Same problem here, and I've been trying since last night with zero luck. I have very different hardware but I'm thinking the fix might be the same, or at least similar.

I also initially had problems with USB keyboard.

When I follow Dortania Opencore guide for my Lynnfield board (P55A-UD3) it says use
OpenUsbKbDxe.efi and UsbMouseDxe.efi

I see you installed those so that's not the issue.

The other trick I used was to hang the USB install drive off a USB hub. When you get to the installer main menu, move your keyboard and mouse to the same hub. You'll have a a working mouse and keyboard again.
