Howto install VoodooPS2Controller and remove PS2 keyboard fix

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

  • No need for ACPIPS2Nub. Delete it before installing this or you’ll get a kernel panic
  • Loadable from /Extra/Extensions.mkext
  • 102-key keyboard support
  • Support for mixed usb/ps2 configurations
  • Resolution fix for PS2mouse (set ForceDefaultResolution to true in Contents/Plugins/VoodooPS2Mouse.kext/Info.plist to activate)
  • Support for scrolling on ALPS (untested)
  • Support for Sentelic touchpad (untested)
  • Advanced Synaptics touchpad. All kinds of scrolling known to humanity including multi-finger and side scrolling

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
Contents/Plugins/VoodooPS2Trackpad.kext/Info.plist
and at IOKitPersonalities/Synaptics Touchpad/Configuration node.
The same settings are also available through dedicated panel (optional)
