Notes regarding High Sierra (10.13) or newer Mac OS
✓
The
Evoluent Mouse Manager
(known as “extension”) may be blocked in Mac OS 10.13 High
Sierra or newer OS, by a new system security feature known as
Secure Kernel Extension
Loading
. Refer to this article on the Apple web site:
https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/technotes/tn2459/_index.html
✓
If the mouse buttons do not perform your selected functions in the driver or if the system
shows
“no VerticalMouse device attached”,
go to
System Preferences, Security
to see if there
is an option to allow the Evoluent extension. The option is only there for 20 minutes after
installing the driver or restarting. If it is not there, restart the computer to reload it.
✓
The extension will be listed as software from Jack Lo (the creator). If after allowing the
extension it is still not working, restart the computer again. If restarting does not work,
uninstall and reinstall the Evoluent software and restart the computer.
✓
To determine if Secure Kernel Extension Loading is blocking the Evoluent extension, open a
Terminal window to enter this command:
kextstat | grep evoluent
If the Evoluent extension is allowed, the command will return a line of info. If it is blocked,
the line will be blank. When it is blank, reinstall the driver and restart the computer.
