whats this all about?

Trackpad System Preference???
Click to expand...

The Unibody MacBooks have a separate trackpad preference in System Preferences. So instead of the trackpad settings being in with Keyboard and Mouse, it is under trackpad on all Macs that have a trackpad.
 
Yes, it is out. I was gonna post, but I can't post new threads...! Why?
I can't even vote? Why???

10.5.6 = 190M on my 2.2Mhz Santa Rosa White MB. 😉
 
Woah. It took a while to reboot after that update. I almost thought it had crashed for a while then.
 
I really hope this fixes my issues with my ATI X1900 XT graphics card. That thing has been a real nightmare at times.
