So far, I have not been able to find any way to get the trackpad scrolling working at all on my e1505/6400. I haven't tried the package surtin posted yet, I'll likely do that sometime today.

 

EDIT: Seems as if it doesn't support synaptics touchpads at all.

there aren't any macs with a synaptics touchpad, so that might explain why the OS doesn't support it.

 

No iScroll or Sidetrack for me.

 

im running Sidetrack on my iBook, if you can get it to run on your hackbook, i highly recommend it.

It certainly runs a Synaptics touchpad driver (showing up as a PS/2 device) at startup if I run it in verbose mode. SideTrack doesn't seem to be able to install it's touchpad driver, even if I force kextload it (with the correct permissions, etc.). It must not have the device/vendor ID for my touchpad, and it if so, it seems to be hard-coded in.

 

SideTrack:

Most Windows laptops implement trackpad scrolling using drivers made by Synaptics. Although Apple PowerBooks also use Synaptics trackpads, the standard Apple driver uses none of the extended features.

 

CocoaSuite works reasonable well. It's a bit finicky compared to Saft's control-key scroll feature (less frame rate it seems).
