My iPC OSX 10.5.6 installation with patched iso to PPF2 worked fine. My
system is:

ASUS M2N32SLI-DELUXE -nForce 590i MCP55 Chipset
AMD Athlon X2 4800+
2GB RAM
XFX nVidia 6800GT 256MB
Realtek 8187
USB mouse and keyboard.

My issue:

I install OSX without the graphics card using Voodoo 9.5.0, Seatbelt.kext
10.5.5, Patched USB Driver, NFOrceATA Test driver for the chipset. I get no
problems with my setup other than the fact that I do not have a graphics
driver installed so no graphic acceleration.

I then try to install a graphic driver. I have tried many different
methods: First I used OSx86Tools to download and install a driver for my
card. Upon installation and reboot, I am left with a very very slow mouse.
If I move my mouse, the cursor takes about 3 seconds to respond on screen -
it is basically unusuable. I then read somewhere that the NVdarwin 256mb
driver might work with my card. I did a whole reinstallation of the system
with this selected. Again, once I had booted into OSX, I got the slow mouse
issue - this basically is making the OS unusable from a practical point of
view.

I then read on nvinstaller.com that injectors did not work with 10.5.5
drivers which I assume also applies to 10.5.6. They suggested that I
installed the 9f23installer.pfg package drivers and to then use EFI Studio
to add my device and then write the hex code to com.apple.Boot.plist. This
did not however work and I was left with a system where the mouse wasn't
working again.

This issue does not affect the USB keyboard. I would like to try a PS/2
mouse on my system but I have not had any luck getting one be recognised,
even though I have installed the PS/2 drivers in the OSX installation.

Any pointers or help regarding this issue would be very grateful.

Keep up the excellent work, it is well appreciated!

Tom

bump.

nobody knows which graphics driver i should be using for 10.5.6 then? it is clear that the graphics driver causes the issue - the mouse freezes up with 3 different drivers i've tried. any suggestions?
