Hi All just discovered the pinch multi touch move works on my 1.67 g4 powerbook in google maps,

was mutltouch enabled for all laptops on last leopard update? Well my old machine is mirroring my iphone - how weird. Wasn't sure if this was known, disregard if its just me catching up on this.



cheers celco

    You almost got me! In fact, the 2 finger scroll is detected when you try to pinch in google earth \

    and it goes better when you scroll than when you pinch....

    I've tryed different way to enable some of the multitouch options on my powerbook recently, and I can tell that it's possible to enable some trackpad gestures on the powerbook like :

    "tap trackpad using 2 fingers for secondary click".



    Better than nothing!



    For that, you need to replace the keyboard.prefpane by one taken from a mackbook (found this file on the web...)



    Have fun!
