Just wait for Snow Leopard, then you can do all the 4 fingered swipes you like with out a hack.

jepps, worked just fine here. take care when repairing your disk permissions to repair the start up disk... it is usually in a subfolder to the main drive...

I currently have 10.5.7. Using the same hack from 10.5.6 I got 4 finger swipe.
HOWEVER,! they is something new! if u don't have any windows open when u four finger down/up nothing will happen unlike 10.5.6 where expose will just run. U need at least one window open to see expose running with 4 finger.

This has always been the behavior I have observed with Expose.

I edited the 10.5.7 .kext file, and it most definitely works so far.

Note: in the System/Library folder, under the Extensions folder, you will see an "Extensions.mkext". This is a kernel extensions cache. Everytime you modify the Extensions Folder, you will see this file get overwritten. I noticed last time that going into the .kext file and making a change was not enough - you had to envoke a modification to the .mkext, or after a couple reboots, the gestures get read from the cache, which still contain the old .kext.

I'm guessing. But mine is working, using the 10.5.7 .kext.

Does not work for me. I followed the instructions and used the kext located in the link posted by the unibody owner... oh well, never really used it anyway.

it worked using exactly the same instructions as before! all u had to do first was to erase the old version first!

To echo previous responses, it works just fine with the same OLD file from 10.5.6. All you have to do is the exact same thing you did before. Repair disk permissions prior to and after replacing the kext file before you restart.

A quick google...

And it worked. Just repair permissions.

Nevermind... It did not work.

I just tried it and it worked perfectly.

I just tried it and it worked perfectly.

Same for me on 17in Macbook Pro (4,1), instructions worked perfectly yet again.


Missed having four finger expose greatly until I did this just now!

Yep, the 10.5.6 kext works fine.
