I believe both sidetrack and iscroll will only work on devices running under Apple ADB kext, which is Apple's version of serial on a PS2, mostly on PPC machines, not intel machines.

 

i am me, which FFScroll did you try, the one phb hacked?

 

I use a mouse so much, I haven't bothered with this, but its the next issue I'd like to tackle.

You should use Smart Scroll X. It allows you to set a key to tap then you can scroll with your trackpad. I think this works way better than the side scroll on Windows.

 

Check it out-- http://www.marcmoini.com.

:D Worked great on my synaptics. Use the beta version for 10.5.

I am fairly certain I tried that already, and got "driver not loaded"' when using the Preference Panel. That seems to be something that might have been corrected with this new beta, so I'll try this later and report back.

 

If this works like u-control does in Panther, I'll be very happy.

hmmm, yes, that beta did seem to work, unfortunately the key implementation is awkward, as it seems to realy be designed for mousing.

 

I sent the developer a request to enable scrolling with just the "fn" key, which is how u-control worked. If he does that, that will actually be better than a "working" scrollpad.

First off, I wanted to say that the developer of SmartScrollX said he will be adding a single key trigger soon, which will be excellent!

 

Also, fwiw, I used php's hacked FFscrollX for synaptics and was able to enable a form of scrolling, more like "finger rolling" really.

 

After I play with it some more, I might post a thread about it. Right now its not stable enough, and I am having trouble getting the LaunchDaemon to, uh, launch.

Hey folks, I've been looking for a way to scroll with my trackpad also. The best thing I could come up with is getting the sidescroll working if your trackpad has that on it. Two finger scrolling would be awesome, but I couldn't get it to work on my Synaptics trackpad.

 

Anyway, if your trackpad has the scroll bar on the side, you can try this to get it to work.

 

Just delete ApplePS2Trackpad.kext from /System/Library/Extensions/ApplePS2Controller.kext/Contents/PlugIns

 

Back up the kext in case.

Just for the record, this not only didn't work, it made my system unbootable until I went single user and moved the extension back in place. iATKOSv1.0ir2

WOOT!!! :thumbsup_anim:

 

Just enabled Side bar Scrolling on Hackintosh HP DV6626us

10.5.2+EFI

I use a synaptics Touch pad I think V6.5 or V6.2

 

I used terminal to edit /System/Library/Extensions/ApplePS2.kext/Plugins/ApplePS2Trackpad.kext/info.plist

I went to the line that say's <String>AppleSynapticsTouchpad</String> and Deleted the "Apple" And did the same for the last line in the paragraph<string>ApplePS2MouseDevice</string>

 

I don't know if this will work for others but it worked magic for Me.

 

This is what mine looks like:

 

<key>Synaptics TouchPad</key>

<dict>

<key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>

<string>com.apple.driver.ApplePS2Trackpad</string>

<key>IOClass</key>

<string>SynapticsTouchPad</string>

<key>IOProbeScore</key>

<integer>5000</integer>

<key>IOProviderClass</key>

<string>PS2MouseDevice</string>

</dict>

 

Hope this Helps some people out.

Specs and install methods are in my sig.

Worked just fine, here.

 

HP DV8000T

Synaptic Touchpad (not sure what version)

 

Sidebar scrolling works perfectly, makes me wonder what other Hackintosh problems could be solved with just a few changes to a few lines of code :-P

 

Thanks.
