I tried again and this time I'm able to get both the mouse and keyboard working (both rehab and bped versions work). However, the pointer speed is really slow (unusable) and the vanilla trackpad prefpane still gives me "No trackpad found". When I try using the synaptics trackpad, it gives a popup saying "ApplePS2SynapticsTouchPad not found" and when I try to change any settings in it, the pane crashes. Both versions give me the same problems.
I'd like to see what drivers are loading. Post ioreg: www.tonymacx86.com/audio/58368-guide-how-make-copy-ioreg.html.
Note: I don't recommend using any kind of VodooPS2 prefpane. The code is simply too buggy to be of any use. Which is why I don't provide it in my builds. When I have some time, I'll fix it, but no time now... And most settings you can change with the built-in SysPrefs -> Trackpad.
And, of course, it doesn't make sense to use any synaptics components unless you have the Synaptics trackpad (which you don't).
To be honest, what I'm really looking for is a way to turn down the sensitivity of the touchpad so that it doesn't randomly jump when I'm typing and also have it auto-disable when an external mouse is used (USB or bluetooth). If the voodoo driver just gives me basic mouse functionality without being identified as a trackpad on the system then I'm not really solving my original problem.
You can do some of this even when using VoodooPS2Mouse.kext. (remove VoodooPS2Trackpad.kext to force it to be used). You can set ActsLikeTrackpad in the Info.plist. For USB mouse to disable the trackpad, you must set the option for it in SysPrefs-> Accessibility-> Mouse & Trackpad.
