I have recently purchased a wired mac keyboard (Apple - Keyboard - Explore completely redesigned wired and wireless keyboards.)
and it does not work correctly on 10.5.8, but works perfectly on 10.5.4.
what i mean by 'does not work correctly' is that: the alt-tab works and the contrast+volume works, but when i try to type normal letters on the home row, then no keys work.
things i've tried that did not help:
- keyboard in different USB ports. works incorrectly in both USBs.
- different keyboard on the Mac (works correctly)
- the keyboard on a different computer (works correctly)
- so it is the O/S system files, driver files that are breaking the functionality
- I did an 'archive and install' to clean out older files and on 10.5.4 the keyboard worked perfectly; however, after upgrading to 10.5.8 it does not work properly. Also, there are no more 'software updates' availalbe for the system..in other words, i have updated everything and there are no firmware updates, etc.
Any clue what is happening here?
p.s. I used to have Microsoft Ergonomic keyboard installed, and uninstalled it to see if it helps, but no cigar.
