thestevo Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 From the original article (that I apparently am not allowed to link to) at the Chameleon site... Features - No need for ACPIPS2Nub. Delete it before installing this or you'll get a kernel panic – Loadable from /Extra/Extensions.mkext – 102-key keyboard support – support for mixed usb/ps2 configurations – Resolution fix for PS2mouse (set ForceDefaultResolution to true in Contents/Plugins/VoodooPS2Mouse.kext/Info.plist to activate) – Support for scrolling on ALPS (untested) – Support for Sentelic touchpad (untested) – Advanced Synaptics touchpad. All kinds of scrolling known to humanity including multi-finger and side scrolling Download You can get the installer package here: VoodooPS2Controller-0.98-installer.pkg Installation Just install as any kext with kexthelper or add it to /Extra/Extensions.mkext Configuration Many features may be controlled using Apples Preference Pane For more configuration you may want to have a look at Contents/Plugins/VoodooPS2Trackpad.kext/Info.plist and at IOKitPersonalities/Synaptics Touchpad/Configuration node. The same settings are also available through dedicated panel (optional) Credits Package: kalyway VoodooPS2Controller (core): turbo Resolution fix for PS2Mouse: mackerintel Synaptics driver: mackerintel Sentelic Driver: nhand42 Alps driver: phb Keyboard fixes: Chunnan & jape Synaptics Prefpane design: bumby Synpatics Prefpane: mackerintel Great thanks to Dense for helping with activating vanilla trackpad prefpane 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BladeRunner Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 I just installed this on my system and, so far, works great! I use Chameleon v2rc1 to boot with kext in /Extra/extensions.mkext. I removed ApplePS2Controller and PS2nub, inserted VoodooPS2Crontroller, remade the mkext and rebooted the system. All is good. Without the patched PS2Controller and PS2nub the system would boot but the mouse/keyboard were inop. So, I know VoodooPS2Controller works Many thanks!

sama7896 Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 make sure you remove : /System/Library/Extensions/AppleACPIPlatform.kext/Contents/PlugIns/ACPIPS2Nub.kext /System/Library/Extensions/AppleACPIPS2Nub.kext /System/Library/Extensions/ApplePS2Controller.kext I made the mistake of leaving the first one, thus the errors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whois Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 installed, removed all 'old' kexts, rebooted .... and works from systemlog i can see it loads Synaptics trackpad: Apr 14 08:35:07 XXX kernel[0]: VoodooPS2SynapticsTouchPad loaded Apr 14 08:35:07 XXX kernel[0]: VoodooPS2Trackpad: Synaptics TouchPad v6.5 but multi finger scroll doesn't work, just the side scroll... could be enabled the multi finger scroll for synaptics? if so how can enable it? (the option in trackpad pref is already selected) thanks for your work! ps: this on MSI Wind U100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaCleoCheater Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Noticed a few issues with the trackpad. 1. Mouse seems to jump about where it wants to, when set on high speed. 2. Sometimes the mouse will become irresponsive when you press the left mouse button. 3. 2 Finger scrolling sometimes crashes the .app (like Safari).

elclanrs Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I works good, better than FFscroll solution. But I've a problem also commented before, when I enable dragging clicking becomes really unresponsive, sometimes it does double-click, and sometimes it does right-click... Anyone knows how to solve this problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elclanrs Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 It Works great now! Thx to this post http://forum.voodooprojects.org/index.php/topic,77.0.html and makerintel reply. Now, I've an almost fully funtional MacOSX, next thing card-readers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivik Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 OMG OMG! Can't believe this... been waiting for 2 years... it works perfectly on acer travelmate 2490 and synaptics. I actually don't like two finger scroll. Right one finger scroll works perfectly, draging was a {censored}, but when i modified double click time it works nice. I have synaptics with 6 buttons left+right and for for moving up-down and left right. I miss corner buttons and this cursor buttons... Nice job.
