Enable three finger drag on Early 2008 MBP…(Finally)

I was troubleshooting the last version of the non-unibody Macbook Pro (2.5 C2D) and I swapped a drive from a Unibody Macbook Pro into this one and all the gestures besides 3 finger drag work fine. Inertial scrolling works great too. FYI.

But 3 finger drag works fine on the Unibody MBP, right? Try the patch, it might make it work.

Glad it worked...🙂

PS. would those be chocolate chip cookies by any chance? Even better with macadamia. 😉😀
 
Hi to all. Is this kext will work on Macbook Mid 2009 (Macbook 5.2)?
As I know it was last model, what didn't has multi-touch, because Macbook Late 2009 already has it.
So and is 10.7.4 kext compatible with 10.8GM?
Thanks.

Nope. This kept will only work on Macs that have multitouch but no 3 finger drag. Also, I'm not sure if it works on 10.8 GM, and I don't think so. I haven't tested the GM yet as I haven't had the chance to download it yet.

Thanks for this, hope it work on my macbook2,1 (white, mid 2007).
Which kext i need to use with 10.7.4 / 10.8 (pls try it, not beta now)?
 
So I'm confused after reading this, can someone summarize how to do it on mountain lion? I do have a trackpad from a 2008 mbp that is multitouch capable.

You can use the kext drFUNK provided. Simply install it. You can use a program like Kext Utility.
 
Uhh so I downloaded the 10.8.2 kext and replaced it. Ran permissions repair and rebooted and now keyboard and trackpad are not working!

Can anyone help? I do have a backup with time machine. But since the keyboard or the mouse don't work, I can't do anything. I have 10.8, early 2008 MacBook Pro.


Thanks in advance for any help.
