Multitouch with synaptic touchpad in snow leopard

[goorioles747]

I just successfully installed Snow Leopard in vmware with working sound, graphics, webcam, and other goodies. However, when I try to do a multitouch gesture, the cursor changes to the windows cursor which makes me think that it is not being registered in os x. I tried installing voodooP2Controller, but at the end of installation, it said System Kernel Extension cannot be used, yet the installer completes and says it is successful. But, when I go to system preferences and try to go to the voodoops2controller pane, it says system preferences needs to restart and it restarts in in 32 bit mode (I can then get to the pane but multitouch still doesnt work)

I think you installed the 32 bit version of VoodooPS2 (for Leopard). Try with the version found in this topic

Thanks for the reply. I will try it when I get the chance.

 

However, I have another issue. VMWare seems to be very buggy. The first time I got OS X installed it worked perfectly and booted with no flags. Then, I got the AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement timed out error and couldn't get around it so I tried installing OS X but it would hang right before the language selection. So, I reinstalled VMWare and it worked. Then, I changed the resolution in com.apple.boot.plist and it worked, but I wanted to change it and it wouldn't work after that. Then the network under OS X (which worked perfectly) suddenly just stopped working and won't reconnect. I would love to get OS X running optimally however, if it gets randomly buggy like this there is no point. Has anybody else experienced this?

I never installed Mac OS X in a virtual machine, but would try with VirtualBox
