Swap Trackpad Axes?

[lunarmoog]

Does anyone know if it's possible to swap the X and Y axes of a Macbook's built-in trackpad? This is an option that's available in USB Overdrive for external mice, but as far as I can tell I can't use that software to modify my laptop's trackpad.

I use this for my snow leopard partitions. It can invert both horizontal and vertical axis.

Sorry, I just didn't describe well enough. I do mean axes – plural. I want to switch my X and Y axes on the trackpad, so that an up motion moves the cursor right and a left motion moves the cursor up. I don't mean to change scrolling only, or only one axis.

You might want to edit your title. People will come make fun of "axes", even if they know you mean axis.

His title is proper, it's pronounces "ax-ees."

So you want to rotate it 90 degrees counter-clockwise?

Why would someone make fun of him when axes is the plural of axis. If anyone was going to be sad enough to make fun then it'd be of you, for incorrectly trying to correct him.

Just curious OP, why do you want to invert the axes? It's a bit counter-intuitive.

I'm thinking he wants to hold it like a book and use it as a reader, perhaps?

I'm sorry. I was confused.

Something like this. I already found some software called "fbrotate" that lets me rotate the screen 90º counterclockwise, I'm trying to make my trackpad match.

I'm sorry. I was confused.

If it's any solace, your username matched your post pretty well.
