magicjohn Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 I would get the keyboard for the BIOS but as soon as it said to press f8 for options, I would have no keyboard. It would then reboot. I had to change the BIOS to support Legacy USB and it booted fine! Good Luck and Thanks all Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/5307-1043-patched-dvd-no-usb-keyboard-available/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eidola Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 Note that if you leave your BIOS in legacy mode there is a good chance other USB devices will not work correctly. I set up the WinXP boot menu to select OSX as the default OS so when I want to use USB devices under OSX I turn off legacy mode in the BIOS and then let the boot menu time out. Does anyone know of a boot manager program that can use USB devices (mouse or keyboard) to select an OS to boot so I can just leave legacy mode off?

Not necessarily, if you have PS2 devices they conflict, but I did set up once to have only USB KB and Mouse and I can use other devices as well.

domino Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 This depends on the patch you applied. With 8f1111ppf.rar, USB works. With SSE2.1111Patches_ppf_patcher.zip, in my case, USB support was broken. I agrre with macgirl, you have to have both USB mouse/kb or both PS2 mouse/kb. If you mix them, one or the other wont work. Although I don't think this applies to lappies and notebooks.

Eidola Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 I have no PS2 devices and am using 10.4.3 8F1099 with all Maxxuss' patches, using the SSE2/NONX kernel. If I leave Legacy mode enabled in the BIOS only my mouse and keyboard will work, all other USB devides are ignored and won't even show up with USB Probe. If I disable Legacy mode then all my USB devices will work correctly and USB Probe will show all available USB ports, my Epson printer will work and even the integrated card reader in the printer will work.
