drumthrasher109 Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 I noticed that with my new install of Leopard on a laptop, when I go to Keyboard & Mouse under Settings, Mouse isn't listed anywhere. Would these drivers help fix this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlusius Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 works great here!! synaptics 6.2 trackpad, both horizontal and vertical working pretty well... look like there are some bugs, but still very useable.. tip: enable smooth scrolling on appearance prefpane, it makes scrolling look better. ------------------------------- I noticed that with my new install of Leopard on a laptop, when I go to Keyboard & Mouse under Settings, Mouse isn't listed anywhere. Would these drivers help fix this? probably not, look here, might help: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...142466&st=0 --------------------------------- attached the file for those who cant/want download from the original site.... synaptics.kext.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drumthrasher109 Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 I don't think the developer knows about Kext Helper?? I'll try these out soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coconup Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 what!? somebody please tell him to add two finger scrolling since he 'could easily do it'. I know that's a wind project but he would help a lot of people here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drumthrasher109 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 I installed the kext with kext helper, rebooted with -f, and I still don't get any trackpad/mouse settings in System Preferences. What gives? I really need to slow the scroll speed down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What gives? I really need to slow the scroll speed down. which kext did you installed?? the one i attached was the synaptics scrolling driver from the wind forums. its NOT supposed to give you the trackpad prefpane back, for that, try the link i gave you on my prev. post, and look on the wind forum (link on the 1st post), it does have a workaround info there. Please, this is a thread for the synaptics driver, not for your prefpane issue, so google it instead of polluting this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlusius Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 new build attached, didnt tried it yet... from the MSI wind forums: THIS PROJECT IS ABANDONED http://homepage.mac.com/fredrikandersson/S...icSynaptics.zip This package contains the latest release (Synaptics: experimental release 1.0, Sentelic: Release build 1.0.3) along with the source code for respective driver; To compile you need the full ApplePS2Trackpad source package- not included with this file to keep bandwidth usage down, it's available here http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=150009 ; Just replace the affected files. Thanks for everyone who been supporting and helping out with this project; I'm leaving it in this state now infavor for development of another touchpad driver. -------------------- EDIT: tried that, the scroll area seems bigger, actually like 1/3 of the whole trackpad.

gord0001a Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 wasnt this project abandoned? It was, but somebody else picked up the ball and made a few updates. I tried it on my HP DV900-series laptop (Synaptics trackpad) and it worked fine, but I had sleep working and this driver seemed to break it.

coconup Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 it isn't, naiw is working on a 'cleaner' version of the driver with 2 finger scrolling and other gestures, he said the first beta may be out in april Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlusius Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 So, i changed some lines on the source, scrolling area were shrinked, top swipe area (annoying imo) was removed, debugging aparently disabled and horizontal scrolling speed up a little. for those who wanna try its attached here. tested on a synaptics 6.2 and working well. edit: source code attached ApplePS2Controller.kext.zip source.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drumthrasher109 Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 What/how/why are you guys editing? I got the trackpad preference thing fixed, but now I can't scroll (usually on the right side of the trackpad). Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jinnggoff Posted March 31, 2009 Author Share Posted March 31, 2009 What/how/why are you guys editing? I got the trackpad preference thing fixed, but now I can't scroll (usually on the right side of the trackpad). Any ideas? maybe the scrolling area is out of area here is howto editing scrolling area in ApplePS2SynapticsTouchpad.cpp else if(exclusive&&abs_x>1110) --->value number //Vertical scroller /* is the finger inside our slidezone? */ { dx=0; if(dy) /* Is there vertical movement ? */ { if(xctr<=0) { xctr=npabs(dy); dz = -((int)((double)dy * scrollacc)); } else xctr--; } maybescroll=true; dy=0; } else if(exclusive&&abs_y>665)--->value number /* Bottom horizontal scroller */ You can changes the values number with small value for getting wide scrolling area, and high number for getting small scrolling area.

drumthrasher109 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I just want to know how to get vertical scrolling to work on the right edge of the trackpad, like in Windows, since I can't get 2 finger scrolling to work (since I don't know how to manually make it work). What file do I have to edit, and where is it located? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jinnggoff Posted March 31, 2009 Author Share Posted March 31, 2009 The file was source code attached from carlusius. And file name need to edit is ApplePS2SynapticsTouchpad.cpp . Edit the file as I suggested before, and compile the source code with xcode tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
