Right click on 17, possible on 15 mbp?

Is this function available on the MacBooks does anyone know? Also, do Apple's Bootcamp drivers support this kind of functionality in Windows, so as to be able to right click (which Windows kind of needs)?

Is that a question or a statement?

I'm wondering the same thing. I'm debating whether I should try installing it on my iBook. I know it's possible to do on an iBook since it allows two-finger scrolling. It's just a software implementation at this point.

I believe its a question, anyways...it doesn't work on last PB G4.
 
Yea, don't try this on an iBook. My trackpad still worked, but it wouldn't do the the two-finger click. And the keyboard stopped working. I had to grab my iMac's keyboard and decided to reinstall 10.4.6 just to be sure everything worked out right.

Oh well.

The only thing missing now is a "middle" click; so that I can open links in new tabs in safari without having to hold down the apple key. A three finger tap perhaps?

Drag the link into the tab bar, and it opens the link in a new tab.
 
grrrr. can someone please send me the '/system/library/extensions/appleadbkeyboard.kext' from a 12'' powerbook...sorry for the mangled grammar, im mouse-typing.

Can you not just use the uninstall that comes with the updated driver?
 
This is why you never delete updates like 10.4.6. I reinstalled off of that and everything was fine.

Granted, I did need an external keyboard for a few minutes since the installation killed my iBook's keyboard.

Looks like the folks at OSX86Project have solved this one (and created a package installer) to give right clicks with two fingers on the trackpad...

DISCLAIMER - I have not tried this myself (yet). I cannot vouch that it works...

well I used it for a half hour then my mac crashed. Booting up only freezes everything within 5 seconds after OSX loads. I can only go into safe mode now. In safe mode I uninstalled the secondary click and it got worse. Now OSX won't even finish loading. Again I am in safe mode. I don't know what to do but wait until I get home to reinstall OSX. Damnit.
 
So let's face the facts and realize that maybe some of us have to wait for this feature to be implemented and some of us will never get this feature from Apple. It's probably going to be a MacBook/Pro feature that we PPC users will never see officially supported...which sucks.
