iScroll2 on latest g4 ibook?

I was wondering if anyone knew if this would work ok on the latest g4 iBooks? http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/17240

I know i can already scroll with 2 fingers, but i hear this adds the function to make the button act as a right click when holding down 2 fingers on the trackpad

I just dont wanna load it up and find my trackpad not working

iBook g4 1.33ghz (upgraded to 1.5gb Ram & 80gb 5400rpm HDD), 30gb iPod Video., Mac OS X (10.4.6), My iBook reminds me of a big fat iPod! =D

I'm afraid I tried this myself a couple of months back and it will not work on the latest G4 iBooks. It won't break anything, it just complains that it is not compatible with the machine. If you find a program which will work, I'd be grateful to hear from you.

It gave me a mesage that said "Your machine does not seem to have a compatible trackpad, or is using an alternative driver already."
There is another one called SideTrack that works pretty well, but it costs money

I just tried sidetrack and i dont get it. It definatly doesnt do what i said, and for the most part it just makes the trackpad suck

Jumpy pointer, no 2 finger scrolling etc.. I hope i can remove this without problems
