Tiger: Any hacks to enable trackpad scrolling yet?

[micsaund]

I won't get started on how Apple does not include trackpad scrolling for my 1.33 PB15 simply because it's now a "feature" to get people to upgrade, but I'm wondering if anyone has found a hack to enable the trackpad scrolling in 10.4.1 on recent PBs? I was using the iScroll2 hack with Panther, but at the moment, Tiger support seems spotty (possible kernel panics/etc.) so I'd rather just use the built-in scrolling if possible.

Thanks,
Mike

I'm using sidetrack. It's a good app and it's not too expensive. It works with Tiger- working right now, and is very customizable - like having corners to open apps/do key combinations and all sorts of other stuff. Very worth it.

BTW I use PB G3 500 Pismo

Some shots of it working (it's a pref pane)

iScroll2 is working quite well for me and I'm using an older version, 0.17, not the latest, which may still be 0.21.

If you're waiting for Apple to support an older machine, don't.

No problems using iScroll 2 either.

iScroll all the way, and it's free on version tracker.

I use sidetrack too. I had already started using it before iScroll became available, and Alex who develops it is just a good guy.

I use iScroll2 and have only minor problems. I did try Sidetrack and loved the features like hot corners on the trackpad and using the sides for scrolling, but I wasn't willing to pay for it and the nag screen drove me crazy.

I didn't realized that the preferences pane had been completely redone for iScroll2 v0.20. I went from version .17 to v.22 and could not figure out how to enable the scrolling. After embarrassing myself by asking the author about the situation did I figure it out.

The only problem with iScroll2 I have is the settings get reset after restarting. I always have to go in and change them back. Luckily I only restart my laptop when absolutely necessary (system updates) so the issue isn't big.

BTW, did I understand that with iScroll, the circular scrolling is only vertical, and cannot do horizontal as well? I guess that more or less makes sense...I don't know how it would do both. Just curious. Of course you can use linear scrolling in iScroll2 also. Sidetrack does seem to have more corner tap type options, although I only use one corner tap (I use the upper right corner to be a the right mouse button).
