Well, I once came across a replacement touchpad driver for Mac OS X with nearly the same features as the XFree Synaptics driver, so I decided to give it a try. > Why the driver, anyway - to support tapping/clicking, dragging, and > such? Actually I was more interested in scrollwheel emulation and the first item on the driver's feature list, "Movement with adjustable, non-linear acceleration and speed", as I find it very hard to position the cursor exactly. It moves way to fast on short distances IMHO. As the Synaptics driver doesn't work, can somebody point me to another solution for these issues? I can live without a scrollwheel, but the movement issues are really annoying. Bye, Michael -- Abandon all hope, all ye who press Enter.
