Hi thanks for copying that preferences line for us. Just tried it and it doesn't appear to work for me. Anyone have any other ideas?
Got a tip for us?

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)?
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...

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.
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.
Oh well.
my keyboard -- 12'' pb-- no longer works. help meeemikehowett said:Same here, tried it on my PowerBook just to be sure but it was no go
grrrr. can someone please send me the '/system/library/extensions/appleadbkeyboard.kext' from a 12'' powerbook...sorry for the mangled grammar, im mouse-typing.

no. it just installs mbp--intel-- keyboard driver. i thought i was safe cause it had an uninstall, but no...
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.

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.
If anyone has a buggered up Powerbook or iBook as a result of attempting this mod, a Powerbook repair installer is now available in the same thread on OSX86Project...
