    installed a clean leopard install on my gf's ibook.

    wondering how we can get more advanced scrolling options like i get with my MBP - the choices in syspref on her machine are so limited. is there a 3rd party option that can do this?

    also, i'm assuming we will be able to install iphoto from her original 10.3 cds?

    thanks!

    You can do it with Sidetrack; that's what I used on my iBook. Since you're using a G4, I think there's a program called iScroll or something like that that also works.

    Eek, Leopard on an iBook? Good luck...

    Is it a G3 or G4?

    The 1.33 G4 ibook has 2 finger scrolling & right click abilities built in to Leopard. If she has an older one, you'll need iScroll or something.

    Runs fine on mine. And yeah, the scroll pad only has the two finger scrolling option.
