I had a problem and a headache with VoodooPS2Controller a few days ago. According to its 'manual', we don't need ACPIPS2Nub and we must delete it before installing VoodooPS2Controller or we'll get a kernel panic. Great.
I looked into S/L/E, deleted ApplePS2Controller.kext and installed Voodoo and after restart I got the kernel panic. Great.
Yes, I didn't delete ACPIPS2Nub because I didn't find it in S/L/E. I thought it was removed during installing OSX (iPC 10.5.6 DVD). I was wrong.
The path to ACPIPS2Nub.kext isS/L/E/AppleACPIPlatform.kext/Content/Plugins (right click on AppleACPI... and Show Package Contents). Tricky. I think everybody on the Earth knew it. I learn something new on every day.

IMPORTANT: This is for 10.5.x and below! On Snow Leopard ACPIPS2Nub must be installed!

The VoodooPS2Controller is a replacement for the ApplePS2 or other derivative patched ps2 controller kexts. It is a plug in replacement that will not be overwritten by any system update since it uses it's own kexts and not modified Apple ones.
New Features for the VoodooPS2 Controller
Installation
Just install as any kext with kexthelper or add it to /Extra/Extensions.mkext
Configuration
Many features may be controlled using Apples Preference Pane
For more configuration you may want to have a look at

The same settings are also available through dedicated panel (optional)
