I used a modded dsdt to get dual core working, but after using it my keyboard and mouse cannot be detected, Even if the dsdt is removed the ps2 mouse/keyboard does not come back unless I reinstall. This happens on iPC 10.5.6 using Voodoo ps2. I can get vanilla Snow Leopard to install but after that the OS does not detect the kb/mouse no matter what kext I use. So, can someone take a look at the dsdt to tell me what is wrong with it?

Thanks alot

@IanxxxI couldn't get either of your dsdts to compile but maybe you should compare code with this http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=90… ↗ and check ioregistryexplorer to see if ps2 is loading Just as a thought you did remove voodoo ps2?
Strange, I just tried compiling the two dsdt and they compile with no errror, just some warning. How do you check ioregistryexplorer?
If you use a free program called ExamDiff you can see that the modded DSDT had a LOT of changes. I don't know what the changes do so can someone well versed in DSDT take a look at them?

ioregistryexplorer is part of xcode, install xcode and look under /Developer/Applications/Utilities
And then look for ps2k to see if it's loading
