I put my working xorg.conf for almost the same machine at http://people.freebsd.org/~nwhitehorn/xorg.ibook.conf The mouse is another issue. Apple's two-finger scrolling trackpads claim to be standard USB mice, but are not. Instead, they just transfer the pressure everywhere on their sensor grids continuously, and require a new driver. This is pbms(4) on NetBSD. -Nathan _______________________________________________ freebsd-ppc@... mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ppc To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ppc-unsubscribe@..."

An external mouse it is for now...

Did I got that right? Here on my PowerBook G4 I have X11 with an external USB mouse working. Now, if I got the above right, we would need the pbms(4) to have trackpad clicking support? Just for understanding.

Yes, that is correct. Basically, the trackpad is to regular USB mice as a winmodem is to a regular modem: you just get a grid of pad pressures, and have to go around taking weighted averages to get the mouse position, figure out the position delta from last time, detect if there are two fingers on the pad to implement scrolling, etc. This same device also has an ADB attachment; the later model ADB trackpads can be put into a mode where they do the same thing by setting their handler code appropriately. -Nathan _______________________________________________ freebsd-ppc@... mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ppc To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ppc-unsubscribe@..."
