Spread the love

Q points to the existence of SideTrack 0.9 from Raging Menace. This driver replaces the standard trackpad drivers of Apple iBook and PowerBook laptops to enable horizontal and vertical scrolling via the touchpad, among other things. In addition, it is possible to use the trackpad as a left and right mouse button. Version 0.9 is from this location take down and comes with the following changes compared to the 0.8 release:

  • [BETA] Extended beta expiration to November 30, 2004.
  • [FEATURE] Introduce optional off-axis scroll zone checks. Finger motions which are perpendicular to the scroll zone are interpreted as mouse motion when the “Allow mouse motion to begin in scroll areas” switch is active.
  • [BUG] Corrected conflict with “Ignore While Typing” for applications that use continuously held auto-repeating keys (ie non-modifier keys). For example, PhotoShop requires the spacebar to be held continuously during some operations. Previously the auto-repeating key would block any attempt at mouse motion. Fix is ​​to allow sufficient trackpad motion to always override the “Ignore While Typing” setting.
  • [BUG] Fix installation problem on machines where incorrect clock setting has put kernel extension cache modification date far in the future.
  • [BUG] Added default calibration for April 2004 PowerBooks/iBooks.
  • [BUG] Fix handling of virtual button state when corner taps are used while drag is in progress.
  • [BUG] Fix pref load handling for users logging in to the GUI as root.
  • [BUG] “Ignore trackpad when mouse is present” no longer detects the Griffin PowerMate as an external mouse.[break]SideTrack 0.9 is still in beta and will work until November 30, 2004
