SportsGuy -- I have a fixed/patched DSDT working. I just did one fix, the fix posted to enable the sleep/restart/shutdown popup when you hit the power button. That's encouraged me to futz with the DSDT more.

Detail your problem some more-- I might be able to help.

Both. VodooPS2 almost worked-- but I lost side-scroll, and it crashed once. I was planning on hacking the code in Xcode, but restrained myself-- too many other things to do.

The ACPIPS2Nub needs a stock ACPIPlatform (vanilla), also you need a version-independent ACPIPS2Nub (one that works with any ACPIPlatform, olders ones needed to be modded for each different ACPIPlatform version: i.e. you updated ACPIPlatform, you lost PS2 Devices...). Look for the one made by Chunnan/Eureka, theres a thread on insanelymac.; there is also alt kexts for situations like USB Keyboard+PS/2 Mouse, if thats what you have.
In any case a clean system (using a single set of PS/2 kexts, without mixing it all together) is advisable.
Also at least in my system Legacy USB Mouse & Keyboard BIOS otions has an effect on PS/2 support (for some unknown reason..).
Yeah, I deleted both ACPIPS2Nub and ApplePS2Controller. Like I said, it worked, but not well enough for me to keep. Most annoying side-effect was losing the ~ key. Man did I hate typing /Users/... instead of ~ !

I also have Legacy USB turned off in the bios.

I'm going to try some of candycane's DSDT hacks from the MacBook Pro DSDT applied to this one to fix USB/EHCI. Maybe that will help. If I feel brave, I may try the AppleHDA DSDT fixes or VoodooHDA too.
