Whenever I try to click on “Trackpad” in System Preferences, I get the message, “Could not load Trackpad preference pane.”

Any idea how I can fix this? Sorry if it’s just some stupid mistake.

Hey thanks for the guide. I have an inspiron 1501. Thought I would try your guide. I can two finger scroll but when I scroll up it makes the page go down and when I scroll up with my fingers it makes the back mover down. It is like an opposite effect. Aren’t I supposed to hold one finger down while moving the other up or down??

Thanks in advance.

I tried the script of predator29 but it do not work. Also, now even if i restart, it does not work. I have to tap many times randomly and then it clicks. Sleep is working by following Thomas’s advice of following step7 @ http://www.dailyblogged.com/1348/os-x-10-5-8-installation-guide/

Any clue !

Man, you are my personal Jesus!. Works like a charm!. Now i can have a so-near-experience-to-my-MBP, on my Inspiron!.

The guide is just perfect. If you have a 1525, and follow CAREFULLY all the steps, works like in the vid.

Hey Genaro,

My scrolling is more hit and miss. If it does scroll it scrolls very randomly. Is there way where i can tweak this? It feels like it doesn’t recognize the two fingers properly. Thanks!

hey, i just got two finger scrolling to work on my hackintosh. the problem i have is that the scrolling part is really hard because you have to have your fingers in a certain position all the time. is there a way to remove this two finger scrolling?

You should use VoodooPS2Controller from Voodoo Team.
It supports two-finger scrolling, drag etc. natively.

Fernando: Genaro… is this could be consequence of the dsdt from the sleep solution thread?Sorry if I’m bothering you so much… Thanks.

It shouldn't be a result of the dsdt.aml seeing as though it doesn't really affect sleep and unfortunately I don't have his msn.

Fernando: I did it…I made some changes on the predator’s script and now I got it working. However…. the script is only running when I turn on / restart my computer, not when I wakeup from sleep… :/.. It would be nice if I had predator’s email/msn to ask him what to do… Anyone here have his email or msn? Thanks

Predator29::

Your script isn’t working for me… When I click save I got an error message (something about sintax). Can you help me with this?

predator29: i “solved” the problem. well, the two finger scrolling doesn’t work, but i don’t mind, atleast i’ve got tapping, and with smartlscroll and scrollkeys he scrolling if functional in a unique way
i just had o write a short applescript not so bad for a first time apple user
so what shall you do, for get the tapping working after sleep, without two finger scroll.1) install the touchpad driver from the driver pack in this post: http://macyourpc.com/2009/03/06/dell-hackintosh-1525-drivers/ and follow the instructions
2) install sleepwatcher from http://www.bernhard-baehr.de/sleepwatcher_2.0.5.dmg (bot packages in the dmg) and reboot
3) open up the Script Editor, and copy this script to it:tell application “System Preferences”
activate
delay 1
set current pane to pane “com.apple.preference.trackpad”
end tell
tell application “System Events”
tell process “System Preferences”
if value of checkbox “Clicking” of group 1 of window “Trackpad” is 1 then
click checkbox “Clicking” of group 1 of window “Trackpad”
end if
click checkbox “Clicking” of group 1 of window “Trackpad”
click checkbox “Dragging” of group 1 of window “Trackpad”
end tell
end tell
tell application “System Preferences”
quit
end tellsave it somewhere
4) open in an editor /etc/rc.wakeup, and insert this line to it:
osascript /path/to/your/script.script
5) rebootprobably now the trackpad’s tap function will work after the computer wakes up.

Hi Genaro… Let me ask you a question:

Inside my “StartupItems” folder I have 2 folders “FFScroll” and “FFScrollDaemon”.
Is it right? Or it just have to contain one folder?

Thanks

Sorry, I’ll be more careful now. I thought I can’t open ffscroll pref pane during the instalation process…

Fernando: On FFScroll configuration, two-finger tab and “Filtering for two-finger detection” what numbers do you use there? I think this is the secret for two-finger work properly…

Fernando it's important to read the guides carefully "It’s important not to open the FFscroll Preference Pane because it will overwrite the plist and the values will be thrown off." in addition to this do you have smartscroll? If you do please use the pictures to configure your smartscroll as such.

Fernando: Genaro…One thing I noticed is that you pointer almost don’t move while you’re using the two-finger scrolling. Mine isn’t that precise, my pointer always move and reach the top or bottom border of the browser… I think it’s problem of configuration. If you have time could you make a guide of smartscroll/ffscroll configuration?Thanks for all…

The most weird is that this layout work 100% without FFScroll.

I think the only way to get it is to remap your keys, you can do this by using this program.

Genaro Bonilla: I would really like to help but I don’t seem to have that problem nor have I heard of others who have had it.I would say attempt the steps again and see if it helps.

Tried it again and I still have the same problem. Ah well, I'll give it another shot sometime in the future. Btw, thanks for the quick replies!
