Hi. I had the same problem. If you unplug your usb mouse you have keyboard working good. Then, when os boot well make the change on that files and ps2 keyboard works well with usb mouse Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/7772-keyboard/#findComment-48687 Share on other sites More sharing options...

kossi Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 It's the file "rc" in the "etc" folder... just type "sudo nano /etc/rc" in the terminal for easily editing it.

dilta Wang Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 I am using 10.4.3, and this procedure works for me only after I rebuild the kextcache. If the /etc/rc thing is not working, you may try the following: sudo rm /Systems/Library/Extensions.kextcache kextcache -k /S /Systems/Library/Extensions reboot DON'T forget to modfiy /etc/rc as stated above. Besides, if you also want the trackpad to work, try reinstall the OS in Unix File System. This procedure works for all versions (10.4.3 8F1099, 8F1111, 10.4.4, 10.4.5). Both the integrated keyboard and the touchpad will work like a charm without any modification (at least on my VAIO V505). The tradeoff is StuffIt cannot be installed. (due to some sort of file system error!?) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/7772-keyboard/#findComment-81433 Share on other sites More sharing options...
