Leopard broke my two finger scrolling - iscroll2

other than the two finger scrolling not working anymore, how is leopard on your ibook (what are your ibook's specs by the way?)? i'm thinking of getting a family pack so i can install leopard for my mom's iBook G4 900Mhz and my sister's iBook G4 1Ghz and would like to know how other people's experiences have been.

Same here man... This really *****. Really hope there's a way to fix this soon. I can't stand having to click on the scroll bar to scroll up and down. If you find out how can you post the info here for people like you and I? Thanks.

Have you sent feedback to the authors of your software? They're the ones who are going to have to update their software to work with Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard).

reinstall iscroll2 0.28 will fix the problem.

if it only would help to re-install iScroll 0.28. It still doesn't work on my PowerBook G4 1,5GHz.

someone please help!

It work for me... but still have problems though. Every restarting, I have to re-setup iscroll2. It seems that iscroll2 cannot remember the status.

So, version 0.28 did not work for me. However, I did find the 0.26 seems to work pretty well. (I had that version installed when I upgraded to 10.5 and tried to update iScroll to 0.28...which was disappointing!).

sudo /Library/StartupItems/iScroll2/iScroll2 start in terminal then enter admin password

then open iscroll2 and click load defualt, then set your settings from there

A friend of mine (who needed iSrcoll2 to work on his older 12" PB) just tried the above fix and reports that it worked great.

super_spyder,
Is this a command that need to be run everytime I want iScroll to start. I ran it and was given

Starting iScroll2
Spawning daemon.

but it still is not actually working. I do miss my two finger scrolling.

I found a fix for my iBook G4 1GHz. Its not that complicated either.

1. Open Textedit
2. Type "/Library/StartupItems/iScroll2/iScroll2Daemon start" (without quotes)
3. SaveAs rc.local (to your desktop)
4. Close Textedit
5. Get Info for rc.local
6. Remove .rtf from the file name (use .local as the extension)
7. Open Terminal
8. Type "sudo cp ~/Desktop/rc.local /etc/rc.local" (without quotes)
9. Enter your password
10. Type "sudo chmod 755 /etc/rc.local" (without quotes)
11. Enter your password
12. Close Terminal
13. Open System Preferences
14. Click on the iScroll2 icon
15. Load Defaults
16. Restart your computer
17. Modify your settings so that your are happy in the system preferences.
18. Enjoy

There are easier ways of doing this, but it involves the "su" & "echo" commands and I'd feel uncomfortable telling people to use them. This method seems to be the least intimidating.
