iScroll2 is a modified trackpad driver that adds two-finger scrolling capabilities to supported pre-2005 PowerBooks and iBooks on OS X 10.3. Supported models include aluminum PowerBooks introduced from 2003 to 2004 as well as all G4 iBooks.
Please note that this is not just the driver for the 2005 models hacked to run older models – the new models use a completely different trackpad and driver. iScroll2 is based on Apple’s AppleADBMouse-209.0.10 driver for the trackpads found on older models, which is available as part of the publicly released Darwin source code (and covered by the APSL). The code added for supporting two-finger scrolling was written from scratch.
What’s new in this version:
– added support for persistence of settings across reboots
– added individual per-user settings and system-wide default settings
– added startup item and console user monitor daemon to support the former
– added German localization (courtesy of Wolfgang Krivanek)
