Hy, I am having problem with my multimedia keyboard that is not prezent when the login of the Leo4allv4.1 shows ... I have 2G ram, an AMD x2 2.9Ghz, mobo 780G and SB700 chipset. My usb mouse works and my multimedia ps2 keyboard should also work because on the release file of Leo4allv4.1 it says :

Included inside version 1.1.0 and 1.2.1 is ACPIPS2Nub(proper version) for your PS2 support. There should be no more PS2 issues! There is a non-efi Old AppleACPIPlatform-1.0.3 and matching AppleAPIC, fixes some ACPI crashes, must be used for NO-EFI installs.

what should I do ?

@TaistoIf you`re on 10.5.6 and using Voodoo Kernel. you need to install Seatbelt.kext so your OS can mount usb drives correctly - thats probably the reason. Also, make sure you`re using the same versions of kernel and system.kext ( both 9.5.0 for example ). About the keyboard - it`s no problem now because you have usb keyboard - but there…

I have different versions Darwin 9.20 and system.kext 9.4
Leo4allv4.1 has leo10.5.4

where do I find the versions of ps2fix and how to do

About the keyboard - it`s no problem now because you have usb keyboard - but there are at least 3 versions of PS2 fixes. If one does not work, you should have tried another. But well, usb method is also good ( but a little more expensive )

Field Note #2 @naquaada 2009-04-21

You can try to disable 'USB Legacy Support' if your BIOS has this option. This works for me on one mainboard, the others support it without changes.
