Keyboard not Working in 9.04

Post by mgatto »

Hello,

I setup Qemu to run MacOS 9 on a El Capitan MacBook Pro (2011) using the instructions at http://www.emaculation.com/doku.php/ppc ... or-windows

However, the following happens:
* Major: Keyboard does not work at all (I even plugged in a USB keyboard in case the -usb-kbd option was literal)
* Minor: Double-tapping the trackpad is odd: I have repeat the taps very fast just to get a click to register within OS9.

How can I get the keyboard working?

Thanks!

You can try without -device usb-kbd and -device usb-mouse.

Basically, what qemu does with these parameters is to present usb based devices to the Mac OS, independent of how you connect devices to your host. If you do not specify these, it will present the apple desktop bus connected kbd and mouse to the Mac OS.

Best,
