    So the one fly in the ointment here (fresh iATKOS 10.5.6 install) is that after I installed FFScroll and found it annoying, and uninstalled it by removing all the files it had installed, i'm left with a trackpad that is insanely sensitive and fast... Even setting the tracking speed to the minimum is almost unusably fast.

    Since the trackpad is _working_, i'm wondering if i've simply lost a .plist file, or if I need to reapply some kext?

    Any ideas?

    I tried reinstalling the AppleACPIPS2Nub.kext (only guessing that it might help) and the /Backup/FFScroll/ApplePS2Controller.kext but to no avail.

    I have an idea what my problem is - I didn't back up my ApplePS2Controller.kext before installing FFScroll, and then reinstalled FFScroll, wiping out the backup copy FFScroll had created.

    Could anyone post the ApplePS2Controller.kext from an install that doesn't have FFScroll installed (ie. the normal one?)


    I think that may be the file I have to replace to get rid of this jittery cursor...


    Thanks,

    Neverming - that was indeed the fix, but i found a copy someone had posted on a different forum. It's back to normal. I'll live without 2-finger scrolling, but with a sane trackpad ;)

    well to go into a different question, is there a way of customly changing the sensitivity within the applps2contoller.kext? maybe a small parameter within a text file? Just asking since I lost the trackpad preference pane that used to be inside the "mouse & keyboard" section

    I reinstalled ApplePS2Controller.kext with kexte helper and rebooted but it didn't change anything. Any idea?
