I've noticed recently that the two-finger tapping to right-click feature in my MB stops working sometimes, and won't start again until I restart. I've installed the new FW and 10.4.8 recently.
Anyone else experienced the same issue?
EDIT: To clarify, this wasn't happening before the new FW and OS update. It's just recently been in for RSS (two or three days before the firmware fix came out  ) and the logic board/heatsink combo was replaced.

I have a USB keyboard (iBall) attached to my MacBook that I always have to re-connect to activate after sleep; is there some way to work around having to do that? My mouse, even through a hub, always stays connected.

Yes I sometimes get this and it happened before any updates. I just go into System Preferences, disable the right click feature, then re-enable it. Works fine for me afterwards.

This used to happen to me, but not anymore I think. I suspect it has something to do with the Safesleep feature (where it copies your RAM contents to hard disk to keep it safe). I remember disabling that I think and it worked OK. I may be wrong though, it could have been a coincidence.

2FRC is awsome. So is 2F Scrolling. No ugly two buttons on our MacBooks ever!
