Macshiba Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 This worked amazingly well. I'm glad I found this. Thanks alot! It's a little touchy at times, but with the update of sensitivity options, it's easy to get it working. Also, at times the cursor will freeze, but usually only if you're pressing down too hard, atleast on my pad. Two-finger scrolling works very well, rarely does it mess up for me, and by messing up I mean the scrollbar will freak out and go up and down like I'm scrolling up and down really fast, which I'm not. Tapping works, and the only problem that I sometimes get is the mouse ever so often stopping. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pphi Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Can you disable tap-to-click in this version? The RC1 I have running works great except when I'm typing and I accidently hit the trackpad, it makes my cursor jump to the mouse's position. Disabling it in system prefs doesn't do anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Jason Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Greetings, I really want to get it right. However, FFScroll Pref Panel if not working, even remove all related files and re-install, doesn't work. However, I think I could just amend the plist directly, however, I need to know the values and the meaning of the specifications. Anyone could help? For example, what's minDragAssumedTime? What is horizontalScrollingThreshold? etc... Need to know those before I could optimise the setting for my mousepad. Thanks. Matthew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mylescloutier Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Okay, I uninstalled using the terminal commands as instructed. However, the FFScroll control panel icon is still there. How do I get rid of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Jason Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Greetings, Another problem is that, when I wanna place 2 fingers to scroll, it will have a time laps, the mouse will move a little before it starts scrolling.. Solution for that? Matthew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bronxboyXXX Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I thank you for your efforts but this driver is a complete mess on my vaio. problems. it won't scroll correctly. keeps locking up my keyboard is acting completely erratic when i try to scroll it only scrolls halfway down a page (if you're lucky) FF scroll won't load when you release your second finger it stays in two finger mode. (This is not how the mac works.) it disables the second i lift your second finger. I have been able to resolve some of the jittery problems myself with other installs but this is by far is the worst so far. and whats up with FF Scrolle? how do i get it to load again?

austinsnyc Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 I think you should change your package! My touchpad now works with scrolling by removing the everything but the PS2.kext. once I followed the removal instructions everything works great! thanks this was one thing that really bugged me about having Mac on my laptop. Now if the 3495 Wireless gets fixed ever we will have fully functioning HackedMacs thank you again. Last question did you modify any kexts or just use the one from the 10.5.2 update?

MeDevil Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Hi all, I was working on the alps source-code to implement native edge scrolling (scrolling on the edge sides, like in windows). The attached kext file should be placed into the ApplePS2Controller.kext/Contents/PlugIns/ folder. The configuration is done by opening System Preferences / Keyboard & Mouse: "Use two fingers to scroll" will enable vertical edge scrolling. "Allow horizontal scrolling" will also enable horizontal scrolling (on the bottom of the pad). "Scrolling Speed" does exactly what the names say: regulate the horizontal and vertical scrolling speed. Interesting features to be implemented (don't know if i'll implement them): - Angle-tapping (can simulate the click on the up/down buttons of a scrollbar) - Automatic edge scrolling activation (ie: use the entire pad area when the cursor is already moving) NOTE: - On first load, you should regulate the tracking speed and enable the tapping by unchecking and checking "Clicking" under the trackpad gestures. - I don't think "Trackpad Options" works, so don't blame me if they don't work - I've also attached the source code, if someone would like to do some mod... ALSO NOTE: I will not provide support (this include email, forum, pm's) for those source nor for the kext. Regards, Domenico.

manmal Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Hi, does this driver support "right" click tapping with 2 fingers (like in true macbooks)? Thanks Mal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeDevil Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Hi, does this driver support "right" click tapping with 2 fingers (like in true macbooks)?Thanks Mal No, sorry... the only supported thing are edge scrolling (on the right side for the vertical, on the bottom for the horizontal). Like i said before, this one works like the synaptic driver in windows, so if you want the "2-fingers" features, why don't you buy a "true macbook" instead? Regards, Domenico.

yeye Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 I had a problem. When I install your package and reboot, I can't use my trackpad. It just goes to the up-left angle. Is it normal? How do I resolve that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
