annunaki Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Wow, nice. Does it help at all with the booting (ie having to use a usb keyboard) Unfortunately, no. At the moment, both trackpad fixes appear to do the same thing. The trackpad settings are not in the System Preferences, but can be adjusted by the mouse settings. That may change after the next reboot, though I'm not sure. At least it scrolls.

Blarneystone Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Yes, we are getting there little by little it seems. It would be nice if there was some sort of USB keyboard emulator stick that we could use until the keyboard situation is fixed Hey Annunaki did you update to 10.5.5 yet?

It would be nice if there was some sort of USB keyboard emulator stick that we could use until the keyboard situation is fixed That is exactly what I was hoping for. Would be AWESOME if we had some file we could put on a flash drive or something that would make it read as a keyboard just long enough to boot up, instead of actually having to find/plugin some big keyboard.

It would be nice if there was some sort of USB keyboard emulator stick that we could use until the keyboard situation is fixed Hey Annunaki did you update to 10.5.5 yet? Oh...heck no! The update has updates for AppleHDA.kext, AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext, GeForce kexts, IO80211Family.kext, IOATAFamily.kext and kernel 9.5.0 plus a lot more. I really don't want to find out what that will do to the dv6000 series right now. If I get bored this weekend...and a few adult beverages...maybe I'll push the launch button. I don't expect the update to fix any of our problems, like the economy, the price of gas in the southern states of America, and especially the one where the ex lives just down the road...Er, umm, I mean like graphics, keyboards and touchpads and...stuff. That will have to just wait until later man.

smeltn Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 btw.. Just so you know, when I got pissed off with my install and went back to Vista, I updated my bios to the latest HP bios F.40 I think it was, and when I decided to try and get my osx up again, it worked great. 0 problems and seems to boot faster than it did before. Just for your info about my experience so far and bios update F.40. http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwar...product=3439456 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/109241-hp-pavilion-dv6000-series-amd/page/8/#findComment-894870 Share on other sites More sharing options...
-aKy- Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 does that mean that your internal keyboard/mouse also work without plugging a usb keyboard in? that would be awesome. for 10.5.5, i would wait with the uptate until a hacked 9.5.0 kernel has been released. when updating, dont forget to patch cpuid's, or use the amd software update tool which is floating around somewhere here in the forums.

Blarneystone Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 I did that update yesterday. But I didn't see any difference. Do you still need your keyboard to boot?

-aKy- Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 there are serveral files in the update that have cpuid's for intel cpus, this would cause problems on AMD systems, so they need to be patched. You dont need to patch your 10.5.4 install (if your used a 10.5.4 install dvd like the new leo4all for example, the id's are patched within the installation. but new system updates from apple are not patched yet, so this has to be done if you don't want to screw up your system. NEVER EVER install a system update from apple directly on an amd system. this will definitely destroy your os. look for guides how to upgrade an AMD System in the forum, there are serveral threads. But back to my main question: Does your internal keyboard/trackpad work now without pluging an external usb keyboard and mouse while booting? I really would like to know.

Blarneystone Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Are you guys having "sleep" issues? I walked away twice today and when I returned, my screen was black. Now I can hit keyboard and the lights come on, but the screen stays black. Any tips on getting it out?

-aKy- Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 i think sleep won't work, it never did on my amd systems, only on intel sse3 rigs it works perfect. you should turn it off in system preferences, then this won't happen.

smeltn Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 no I did not get the trackpad/keyboard to work with the bios update.... I can only dream. and yeah Blarneystone my sleep does the same thing. I have to hold the power button and do a hard reset to get it to come back up Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/109241-hp-pavilion-dv6000-series-amd/page/8/#findComment-895029 Share on other sites More sharing options...
annunaki Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Internal kb/trackpad & sleep never worked for me properly either...ever. No luck getting this thing to boot clean without a stupid usb keyboard and mouse attached. It's funny that you folks brought up the idea of an emulated kb/mouse on a usb device. My wife and i had pondered that a couple months ago I'm scheduled to move to Japan in a few months and I figure that I'll have to revert the ol' lappy back to XP (to be truly portable) during that time. We could live with the system if we didn't have to worry about plugging in stuff to make it boot. But when you have to use it in a working environment, it just has to perform. Until then, I'm gonna try to get it optimal.

smeltn Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 agreed annunaki. That's the only major hangup I am having with the system is, I can't REALLY be portable if I have to have a keyboard stuck out the back of my laptop back. If I only had to plug in a flash drive and my mouse (which I use every time I turn my laptop on anyways) things would be amazing.

There is this Igo Stowaway bluetooth foldable keyboard for sale for PDA's that you can use with one of those ultra small bluetooth usb dongles. At least thats a thing you could just leave in your bag while showing off your Hackintosh in public.

Blarneystone Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Here's what gets me... When I installed Kalyway, the keyboard and trackpad were recognized natively. I have no idea if it's a kernel difference or smbios or what since I'm new to the OSx86 project. But if I at least had a direction, I might be able to find the code difference and then build a patch. PS I do have one of those stowaway bluetooth keyboards - but I don't have dongle.. I use it with my mobile. Seems to me, it would be easier to get our notebook keyboards to work as opposed to introducing yet another factor (bluetooth) into the mix.

I tried a bluetooth usb dongle and it worked out of the box on my dv9205us with leo4allv4.1. When you stick the bluetooth usb stick in immediately a new bluetooth icon appears in the menu bar on the left next to the wifi icon. The bluetooth setup assistant then helps you set up the connection for either mouse, keyboard, mobile phone etc. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/109241-hp-pavilion-dv6000-series-amd/page/8/#findComment-895924 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blarneystone Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Kalyway 10.5.2 (let me see if I can remember my setup) I went default on just about ALL options. Selected all bonus apps like kexthelper Used ONLY the 1st patch in the AMD section at the bottom If you remember a few pages back, I had it installed and everything worked well including audio, but the video was locked at 1024 x 768. The patch on the first page of this thread prevented booting once you deleted the IONSvrsupport (or whatever it is). I could NOT boot. I have two partitions on this drive (one is for testing) I'll load it on this machine if you think we can get the whole thing working. You gonna give it a try?

annunaki Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Kalyway 10.5.2... You gonna give it a try? Yeah, I suppose I'll start with replacing the ApplePS2Controller.kext and probably the AppleACPIPlatform.kext with the Kalyway version. There may be more kexts or files that need to be replaced, but this is a starting point! We may have to play around with different kernels as well and find the right combo.

Blarneystone Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 I got called out on location for some server stuff but when I get back, (hopefully 4pm EST I'll post them).
