    Hi there :)

    Got my OS X 10.5.8 working with great, great help from rory (THANKS!!).
    Now almost everything works. Even the trackpad - But I can only click, by clicking the button to the left - Not by touching the trackpad. Now, I can enter "Keyboard"-options in Sys.Prefs., but not the trackpad-options, as I could before. I'm on an Acer Aspire 150, if that helps :)

    Thanks in advance
    Mathias

    Do you have the VoodooPS2Trackpad kernel extension installed?
    See if you can find this name under "About this Mac"/More Info/Software/Extensions. It should be one of the last names in that list.

    if not, search for it and download the package. Make sure you select the trackpad option as this installs the trackpad prefpane. If not, google for some help, editing an info.plist enables it too. But pkg file is better. cba to google for it right now haha.
