(Mods if Ive posted this in the wrong place would you move it please? I wasnt sure where exactly to put it - Thanks)
I just found via Digg, that a couple of guys on the osx86project page have made a working/driver installer to enable this functionality for Macbook Pros (15"). Heres a link to the thread and the installer is towards the bottom of the page. http://forum.osx86project.org/index....ic=17685&st=20 Regards, Andrew |

Uh?
So what is one supposed to do with that MachineSettings.framework folder thing? Can it make something go awry? I'd really like this feature on my MBP, but I don't feel like experimentng with stuff I know nothing about. |

Thanks chucker!
I'll make a note on uninstalling it once it's time to go 10.4.7. Oddly, the danish wording in system settings calls this feature "two-finger double-click" |

As for the MachineConfiguration.framework thing: if you had downloaded that in conjunction with the preference pane link and the kernel extension links on page 1 in the same forum thread, you could have accomplished the same effect as without the installer. You would have, however, wanted to do backups of your own. Also, the preference pane linked there is English-only rather than multilingual. So I recommend the Installer instead. |

What about other machines with two finger scrolling? I don't want people to forget about loyal PowerBook users!

My powerbook already has 2 finger scrolling though.
I want the left clicker 2 thingy. |

When I was using iScroll2 on my old iBook it also featured two-finger clicking.
But I have no idea how iScroll2 works on a Mac that already has two-finger scrolling. I was merely making a suggestion. Why don't you try it out and report the results here? |

Is there any limitation of the PowerBook trackpads (the ones that can do two-finger-scrolling) that would preclude them from being able to do two-finger-right-clicking like MBs and MBPs?
Ugh. |

Btw I saw a thread on the apple discussions that said the next build includes this feature for 15" MBP's too. One guy also stated that he was inside the Tardis (5th ave) and the 15" mbps there already have it...

Yeah, it's one thing to do this with a piece of cheap consumer electronics like the iPod where new software features are a major part of the appeal for getting a new replacement, but to do the same thing with computers? VERY STUPID.
I hope someone figures out a hack. |
