so i installed the modded driver for the older Al Powerbooks, you know the one... it lets you use the new two finger scrolling features of the 2005 models... well i was cleaning up some files in my home directory, and i dragged a few to a new file, while doing so, i tried to scroll up... and guess what happened (those of you that have the driver installed try it before reading on) the controll menu, you know, a "right-click" yeah that showed up... okay, i know, this is probably an undocumented feature thats been around for a while, but i just found it and i had to share...

so feel free to try it with the old driver and let me know if it works too... either way its too cool!,

to re-produce...

click and hold the mouse button, then tap (with two fingers, sorry i just tried again, probably doesent work on the older driver) and the menu should show...


too effin cool!

I believe the way it works is a 1 finger tap (have your trackpad's "button" enabled) = left click, 2 finger tap = right click

yeah, that makes sense, but i dont have the finger tap enabled... but that would make sense... thanks for the reply...

What driver is this?

For modern, but now the new, Powerbooks and modern iBooks.

If they have a W-Enhanced trackpad you can enable a few features.

See here: http://www-users.kawo2.rwth-aachen.de/%7Erazzfazz/

Does require use of the Terminal, but no biggy. Just set the Terminal to transparent (in Terminal:Window Settings) and follow along with the directions.

If you more options (but not the two finger scrolling) try Sidetrack from Raging Menace.
