    Hello,

    iDeneb 10.5.6 installed perfectly but the only problem is that trackpad is NOT registering. Keyboard, cam, audio, mic
    everything working perfectly (except wifi of course) But, the trackpad is the only thing I need. I have already tried 5 solutions each by having to Restore the A150 back to a clean iDeneb install - not fun.

    Please, how is the best way to find trackpad support for the Acer Aspire One???

    On my A150 with iDeneb 10.5.6, I found the voodoo kext useless, the internal keyboard and trackpad would not work. Even on a USB keyboard and mouse it would flood text fields with "77777777..."

    I downloaded OSX tools, used the kext helper to install the PS2 kext from there, and removed the voodoo ps2 kext, and it works perfectly. Configured the trackpad in apple system preferences to use tap for click etc.
    Just can't scroll but I don't mind using the keyboard / sidebars to scroll, as when using the trackpad I used to accidentally scroll sometimes, so it was a pain anyway.
