This isn't much of a "customization" question, but not sure where else to put it.

I've got a Macally Icekey keyboard, and it works fine with my new hackintosh, except for the volume and eject keys. Those are supposed to require a proprietary driver, which installs fine, but the keys still don't work. The volume and eject keys on an old Apple-branded keyboard work fine with the machine.

Any ideas?

Thanks much.
 
I'm in the same situation.

They aren't going to work because the driver is old and they won't be updated for Snow Leopard. Unless Macally spends the time to update the driver (unlikely) or the is a hack that someone makes, we're out of luck.

EDIT: According to this post at InsanelyMac, the driver won't work in 64bit, but will in 32bit.
 
Lousy news, but good find -- thanks for the reply.

FWIW, my kluge was to swap the volume keys with f13-f15 (who uses those?), and use Spark to map them to their right functions. F12 already works for eject if you hold it down a sec, and that's good enough for me.
