BananaBeast Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 I got my Mac OS to boot (thanks to those who took the time to try and help me, turned out to be a hard drive issue), but I'm having a keyboard/mouse issue. I'm not using a USB keyboard or mouse and Mac OS refuses to acknowledge my standard ones. I don't know if it's a limitation of the OS (since Macs are all USB now) or if there's a way to get around it and use my standard peripherals. If anyone could kindly point me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated. To cover my bases on what I have tried... the ps/2 support .kext is in place. My BIOS does not have the option to disable USB keyboards (Unless I'm blind..) My BIOS does have an option to enable ps/2 mice, which is currently Enabled. (It was initially set to AUTO, switched it thinking it might work then..) I'm also not getting sound. Should I try recopying those two kexts from the CD (after I make a cd...)?

wesley Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 I think it's been mentioned here and win2osx a few times, although because I don't use PS/2 devices I didn't take much interest in it. Try searching around a bit. Oh, and when you ask this kind of question it's a good idea to post what version/build/patch of OS X you're running.

BananaBeast Posted February 5, 2006 Author Share Posted February 5, 2006 Yeah, it has been mentioned, and thats why I listed what I've tried. I've done my research I also tried replacing the kext with the one off the darwin cd... no go. Using 10.4.3 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/8558-keyboard-issue/#findComment-53158 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kikos Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 My USB mouse doesn't work in OS X, so I use PS/2 mouse and keyboard. They work fine. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/8558-keyboard-issue/#findComment-53201 Share on other sites More sharing options...
