Thanks will do.

ok I got it working...had to open voodooPS2controller.kext and copy contents of plugs (voodooPS2mouse.kext .........trackpad.kext etc) to desktop, then install them and rebuild permissions etc..rebooted...all good

 

Big thank you to everyone for all you comments/help/advice much appreciated, hope someone else with same problem sees this post

so may I be better off DL sierra from my yosimite distro then trying to install it i.e proper apple dmg
or can you think of a way I could get a proper copy of yosimite or el capitain, if you think I am more likely to have success with them over sierra
 
also there are quite a few options for installing proper images, i.e via myhack, etc and then few options for bootloaders i.e clover, chameleon and enoch.....any advice??
 
thanks

Well, yes you were initially missing something (you were copying kext to SLE but repairing permissions of LE!) but it appears you're doing it the correct way in your screenshot.

 

I use this VoodooPS2Controller kexts throughout on all my Latitude E Series under Mavericks & Yosemite and up to El Capitan 10.12.3.

VoodooPS2Controller.kext.zip

 

I get the same output with the key text you pointed me too??

Using kext wizard to install...then manually rebuilding with commands as above

reboot, now niether keyboard or trackpad working

This is sooo frustrating

 

I am using niresh yosimite-zone to install yosimite as I dont have a mac and can only download sierra from the app store.

 

 

Thanks

should I remove the other 'old' voodooPS2...kext's from /S/L/E i.e. VoodooPS2Keyboard.kext, VoodooPS2Mouse.kext and VoodooPS2Trackpad.kext before I install the new one; as it has them within it under the 'plugins' folder.

 

Thanks

sorry should be attached above now

see attached image (sorry laptop with osx has no internet at the moment) for terminal error output

 

 

ok

 

Am I missing anything with the manual method:

 

1. copy VoodooPS2Controller.kext from /_macOSX/Extra/Extensions to /S/L/E (copy and paste, replace)

2. Open terminal and:

sudo chmod -Rf 755 /L*/E*
sudo chown -Rf 0:0 /L*/E*
sudo touch -f /L*/E*
sudo kextcache -Boot -U /

3. reboot (no boot flags)

 

Thanks (sorry I am fairly new at this)

manual method also says VoodooPS2Controller.kext has no Info.plist file

 

then for the VoodooPS2Trackpad/Keyboard/Mouse.kext's it says no dependancy found for org.rehabman.voodoo.driver.PS2Controller

then continues to say Prelink failed for org.rehabman.voodoo.driver.PS2Trackpad/Keyboard/Mouse (separately one for each); omitting from prelinked kernal

 

thanks

searching PS2 on whole drive I find PS2MouseDxe-64.efi in /efi/clover

otherwise only my backup VoodooPS2Controller.kext on the desktop and the newly installed one in /S/L/E

I only have the one PS2 controller kext in S/L/E (new voodooPS2Controller.kext)

 

if i search the folder for PS2 i get the following:

 

VoodooPS2Controller.kext (new)

VoodooPS2Keyboard.kext (previous)

VoodooPS2Mouse.kext (previous)

VoodooPS2Trackpad.kext (previous)

 

could a previous one be installed somewhere else which is causing an issue?

 

Thanks

note, I was installing it into S/L/E as there is no Extra/Extensions folder on my disk

thanks, but...

 

if I rebuild cache via the terminal as sujested above it says multiple times that no dependancies found and prelink failed.

Same if I replace last line with sudo kextcache -system-prelinked-kernel.

 

if I do it via kext wizard, no errors are reported but on reboot no keyboard or trackpad....

 

thanks

You may use the PS2 controller kexts available in the pack of my E6220 guide. It'll work no problem on the E6230.

Does it matter if I am using myhack or not? Currently installing kext with kext wizard, booting with chameleon. Never used myhack

 

Thanks

Thanks I'll give them a try this morning

I have installed yosimite on e6230 i5 3340m hd4000

Everything working fine except touchpad not working at all or being recognised by os x.

I have tried updating the voodoops2controller with ones from the following post (first and newest versions)

 

https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/9070-a-new-voodoops2controller-compatible-for-alps-on-sierrael-capitan-1011410115/

 

when i do neither the keyboard or trackpad work.

reverting to original (from niresh yosimite dmg) get keyboard back but still no trackpad

 

any help greatly appreciated...i fee so close to having a working system...frustrating

 

thanks
