Sorry Mate !! Nothing new. This has already been covered before but unfortunately it's not too successful, I tried it and messed up my whole OS X !!

But thanks for your concern and informing other people.

Cheers

Omar :)

P.S. If anybody is successful in doing this in a easy manner please share !!

I did that same thing with my Rev A air myself a month ago, and it worked like a charm. IMHO, it's a pretty simple guide. I don't think unless Apple puts 4-finger swipe into 10.5.6 or 10.6 you're gonna get an easier way of doing it.

Hi I tried the same but it messed up my system, I was unable to use the track and the keyboard they died and I got a lot of errors. Can you tell me the process in detail.

Regards

Why is 4 finger swipe so important anyway to be worth a whole system restore with doubtful results?
Life with the MBA is so fine without it anyway!

That makes 450 £ per finger, that is a really expensive hand set ! :)

if 4 finger was configurable it would be one thing, but without it, setting a hot corner for Expose is a simple and perfectly useable alternative.
