PS/2 for Snow Leo
Hey guys. Does anyone know how to make PS/2 devices work on SL in x64? I've tried voodoops2controller, but it failed:
"Aug 30 12:28:36 localhost kernel[0]: Error - kext org.voodoo.driver.PS2Controller declares com.apple.kernel dependencies. Only com.apple.kpi.* dependencies are supported for 64-bit kexts.

try this
im using a ps/2 keyboard with a usb mouse on snow 10.6 thanks to voodoops2 kext...
try this attached voodoops2controller kext... note: there's two kexts inside the zip file. put both in /system/library/extensions. then repair permissions with disk utility. then "touch /system/library/extensions" in terminal. reboot... note: i remember getting erros when i had these kexts in /extra/extensions works in both 32/64bit... good luck!!! |

damn...when i want to fix permisiions from 10.5.8 on SL partition it takes only 1 second ( i think something is wrong). And after reboot i get same errors:/ Im sure i do something wrong, so m8 if you could write everything step-by-step i would be very gretfull (if your posts isn't step by step already)

try like so:
first go download kext utility if u already havent got it.
say ur target snow leopard volume is called "SNOWLEO"... copy the two voodoo kexts in the zip to "/snowleo/system/library/extensions" open up the folder that has "kext utility.app". dont run it... just leave the window open. open up another finder window and browse to "/snowleo/system/library" click and drag & drop the folder "extensions" onto the "kext utility.app" in the other finder window u have open. it will ask u to authenticate by entering ur password, do that... kext utility will repair the extension permissions and build and pack a new "extensions.mkext"... it might not successfully create the mkext, just ignore that... reboot into snowleo... that should do it... btw, what ps2 hardware are u tryin to get working? |

Thanks for replies, but it doesn't wanna work:/
It doesn't wanna create .mkext file as you said. I've got some old logitech keyboard and some shitty A4tech mouse.

weird
the Extensions.mkext isnt important... only the permissions matter for booting into snow...
have u tried rebooting into snow? what error msgs do u get now? btw, ive only tried this with a ps2 keyboard... so could u unplug the ps2 mouse and see what happens with just the ps2 keyboard? as a last resort try the following commands in terminal and try booting into snow: chmod -R 755 /snowleo/system/library/extensions chown -R root:wheel /snowleo/system/library/extensions touch /snowleo/system/library/extensions replace "snowleo" with your snow volume name... if that doesnt do it, im sorry there's nothing else i can think of... 💡 Deploy cloud instances seamlessly on DigitalOcean.
