I noticed this page a couple of weeks ago. It reproduces a feature found only on the new PowerBook range from Apple, where you can scroll a window by using two fingers on the trackpad instead of one.

It turns out that many of the previous generation of PowerBooks also had hardware capable of doing this, but not all. I don’t know if Apple will modify their drivers to support the older models, but it’s kind of ridiculous to expect me to buy another laptop for official support when this hacked driver proves my existing machine works fine.

Check the driver out - it’s working nicely on my 15″ AlBook. If the installer reports your machine isn’t capable of this feature, there’s always SideTrack.
