Hi,

I need some assistance for a project I'm working on. At least one model of PowerBook has a "W enhanced" trackpad, but I need to know what model. Its not the 15" or the 12"

Please run this in Terminal:

ioreg -l | grep -i "W Enhanced Trackpad"

If you see any lines output then please post your PowerBook model.

Thanks,

Bas

Well, if it's not the 12 nor the 15, then....

Yes it is the 17".

What does "W-enhanced" mean?

Thanks, Tomster. That was my guess, but I needed to be sure. It was possible that the "W enhanced" mode was for future 'books, or just cruft code left in the driver.

Icruise, W enhanced trackpads speak a slightly different protocol than the standard pads (and get some minor features as a result). I'm working on a project at that level and wanted to make sure that I wasn't coding to a nonexistent piece of hardware.
