TopazBar Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 This fix works for 10.4.3 and 10.4.5. Both systems provide support for ALPS Glide Point and Synaptics Touchpad. First go into windows and look for your PNP ID: Start->Accessory->System Info click on input device and find your PS2 mouse (that's your Glide Point) Mine looks like this: PNP Device ID ACPI\PNP0F13\4&15F2F7D1&0 The important number is 0F13 following PNP File to patch: /System/Library/Extensions/ApplePS2Controller.kext/Contents/PlugIns/ApplePS2Trackpad.kext/Contents/Info.plist Look for <key>IOProbeScore</key> <integer>1000</integer> and replace "1000" with your PNP ID (in my case this is 0f13) reboot and voila, u have tapping.

chulogrande Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 I tried the above and, while tapping did work in safe mode, the boot process would hang if I booted in normal mode. After doing the below, I got it to work in normal mode as well: cd /System/Library/Extension/ApplePS2Controller.kext/Contents/PlugIns/ApplePS2Trackpad.kext kextload ApplePS2Trackpad.kext rm /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache kextcache -k /System/Library/Extensions Then I rebooted and it worked! I hope that this helps someone. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/13029-notebook-tapping-fixed-on-dell-9300/#findComment-116796 Share on other sites More sharing options...
