Use Chameleon's GraphicsEnabler parameter, or alternatively use NVEnabler kext.

Macs do not support PS/2 keyboard and mice. (Without ApplePS2 or VoodooPS2 at least)

For the usb problem, you should use the usb kexts from 10.6.3. You can find them here (k exts.com/view/1010-usb_fix.html).

Remember to use Kext Helper (che etha.net/) to install them, or run pfix after dropping the files to /System/Library/Extensions.
