    Update: I have fixed the trackpad and keyboard, along with Ethernet! All I need to fix now is gestures, as the computer is currently thinking the trackpad is a mouse - which means no gestures

I'm a beginner to Hackintoshing, so I might have missed a step or two, and I apologize in advance if I have. Everything else works (some trial and error, and a couple run-ins with 4 MB...
