  1. Really sad, that you had absolutely no time to update your git repo in the last 4 years. Stealing things: OK, contributing back: nope. Now i understand everything. Thanks.
  2. Ramalama, sorry, but your points doesn't much sense for me. Please, let me explain why: - Nobody told for Dines, that he NEED to use the Apple sources. Nobody held a gun to his head, you know. - He is able to do something from scratch, everybody can see that in his other projects. - If he do something from scratch, nobody cares what he do with the sources. - In this specific case he used sources from Apple - However he can read ( obviously ), he doesn't respect the rules, the licenses, the law. ------------- You wrote, you would speak with me like grown ups, if i were some big name from the community. Really sorry, but i spoked with you like a grown up before, but you just told me: go fck yourself. I'm not really sure, if i want to continue this discussion with you anymore, but if you can give me any reason, why should we let Dines to violate the licenses and the rules, what every other osx86 community member and developer respects, i'll read it and will discuss about that happily. But it would better to see the sources, than writing wall-of-text here. Sorry, it is not against you, i just have better things to do Thats for now, Best regards, miqlas
  3. First, just to get it right: 1) Dines doesn't made this kext entirely "almost from ground". This is the old codebase what Apple released years ago. Just look here: https://github.com/EMlyDinEsHMG/ElanTouchpad-Driver/blob/master/ApplePS2Controller/ApplePS2Controller.cppDo you also see, what i see? /* * Copyright (c) 1998-2000 Apple Computer, Inc.

Oh, and let see RehabMan's code: HERE. Umm... If it looks strange for you, then let me explain the situation: - Apple released the PS2 code around 2000. - The VooDoo project invested much time to implement many things and fix the bugs, and published the whole code. - RehabMan took the source, and developed it further, and published the whole code. - and then Dines took all the source, changed here-and-there (I'm not implying that it was easy!), and then published it in binary form, without sources, and after many question he published this 3 years old code. 2) I'm sure, he invested much work into the codebase, what he got from other nice peoples and from Apple. Let see, what this Apple Public Source License says about this: (...) If You Externally Deploy Your Modifications, You must make Source Code of all Your Externally Deployed Modifications either available to those to whom You have Externally Deployed Your Modifications, or publicly available. (...) If you using this code in your project, you need to publish the modified code. Easy. 3) There are plenty OSX86 developer, who doing the same, for example the VooDoo team. 4) Nope. It is not his OWN thing. He used the Apple codebase, the VooDoo codebase, and i think some changes from RehabMan too. He also need to follow the Apple license. And no, please, don't tell me, that i need to say thank you for Dinesh. Just look at the Clover project, many people working together to eliminate the bugs really fast, to implement the new ideas, technologies and bugfixes. I'm really appreciate this work. Dines, even though working pretty hard, just squashing the bugs alone, if he becomes ill or something the users are sucked. He don't need to be martyr or something, he can just open the code, there will be many people, who can help at the development, so he doesn't need to be awake all night long. But he don't doing that. Because money. So tl,dr: he took the open source code, changed, doesn't released the modified code (what he need, actually), and doing money with work of other guys. You know, for me it looks dirty. And you asked, what would we do without this kext? We would redo everything, what Dines made, but with open source. Nobody did that yet, because it is pointless to do the same development again, and this is, why i wrote this wall of text: Dines is intelligent enough to know this, and he knows really well, that Apple doesn't want to do anything with the PS2 code, so he don't need to fear from the lawyers. And he know, that there will be always some guys, like you, Ramalama, who will fight for him in the forums. So he won. I hope, that it makes you feel happy. But, you know, it is a bit disappointing. #### Please, let me know, if i misunderstood something. Best regards, miqlas
  4. For battery install the latest kext from this site: https://bitbucket.org/RehabMan/os-x-acpi-battery-driver/downloads
  5. Hi! I have also noticed this bug, but before it reboots, it moving and clicking like crazy, and then it just hard reset my laptop. I never had this problem before then 3.8.5, or maybe i haven't used it frequently at this time. It is an Acer M5-481TG laptop, with Elan 4 Touchpad. And as you told, there is no log, nothing. Thats all, what i have: Hardware version 4 (Firmware version 0x461f08). Touchpad ranges are X_min 0 Y_min 0 X_max 2960 Y_max 1924, CenterX 1480, CenterY 962. Bye!
  6. Hi! You have right, with right Context button the Backlight change works. Here is my ApplePS2Kext Info: <key>IOKitPersonalities</key> <dict> <key>AltFnKeysKeyboard</key> <dict> <key>CFBundleIdentifier</key> <string>com.apple.ApplePS2Keyboard</string> <key>IOClass</key> <string>FnKeysKeyboard</string> <key>IONameMatch</key> <string>FnKeysKeyboardDevice</string> <key>IOProviderClass</key> <string>FnKeysKeyboardDevice</string> </dict> <key>ApplePS2Keyboard</key> <dict> <key>CFBundleIdentifier</key> <string>com.apple.ApplePS2Keyboard</string> <key>Disable right App key</key> <false/> <key>Fn Keys</key> <dict> <key>BrightnessUp</key> <string>ArrowUp</string> <key>BrightnessDown</key> <string>ArrowDown</string> </dict> <key>Fnkeys Mode</key> <true/> <key>IOClass</key> <string>ApplePS2Keyboard</string> <key>IOProviderClass</key> <string>ApplePS2KeyboardDevice</string> <key>Make capslock into control</key> <false/> <key>Swap alt and windows key</key> <true/> <key>Use ISO Layout</key> <true/> </dict> </dict> I don't want to give you more work to do, if you can tell, how can i remap the num keys, i will do it. Thanks! Kepp up the good work! Z.
  7. Hi! There is a picture about my Keyboard, and an picture tell more than 1000 words. As You can see, i made some marking here and there. Legend: - GREEN: works, no problem. - YELLOW: Works without Fn, but don't works with Fn. It is terrible with the / key (Fn + 0)and with the + Key (Fn + -), because i cannot use them simply with Fn, but i need to activate the NumLock with Fn + F11, and then can i type the correct symbol, and then i need to deactivate the NumLock again with Fn + F11. I tried to remap the Brightness Up / Down to Fn + Left and Right, but unsuccessful As You can see, almost all of the Fxx taken on this laptop (and works), so for multimedia keys i like to use the predefines keys (Home, PgUp, PgDn, End), but when i read correctly,just the Fxx and the Arrow keys are able to redefine. It is correct? If yes, can You please implement the Home, End, PageUp and Page Down Keys also? Thanks! -RED: It is a dead Key, it produces nothing, with and without Fn. Total dead. Can you please use a small magic on this Key? I really like to use it. Interrestingly VoodooPS2 works with these Keys without problem. Thanks, thats all for now. The Touchpad works correctly. ElanTech Touchpad driver v2.6 by EMlyDinEsHMG(OSXLatitude) (c) 2012-2013 Elan: Detecting the touchpad Elan: FirmWare Version 4595464 Elan: Touchpad found, Assuming hardware version 4 (with firmware version 0x461f08) Elan: Successfully placed touchpad into Absolute mode Elan: Setting touchpad Range Elan: Touchpad Pad CentreX 1480, CentreY 962 Elan: Touchpad range X_min 0 Y_min 0 X_max 2960 Y_max 1924 Elan: MouseInformation { 0x20, 0x03, 0xc8 } Elan: Enabling the touchpad Thanks and keep up this good work! Best Regards, santafe
  8. Hello EMlyDinEsH! I have also problem with the < key : With Your driver Zero key (right from 1) produces í, and the < key (actually í on Hungarian keylayout,because it is swapped, crazy Apple engineers) produces nothing. It would be cool to have the < key, because it is an important character in our language. Thank You, an i wish You god luck! Z.
