I don't know what the differences in track pad use are in higher OS's
than 7.5.5, but (I also use 7.5.5) there is a control panel called
Trackpad. Making changes to that isn't getting you the results you want?
On this note -- black bug, or any fellow lister if you know -- if you run
7.5.5 on a 5300 like black bug is doing, or you're running it on a 190
like I'm doing, you mean the same OS behaves differently on the two
Powerbooks?
This may be a reference to the tappable trackpad issue/problem/option.
IIRC the 190 trackpad was tappable but the 5300 wasn't. I always found this
hard to believe but enough people have told me about that I'm now a convert.
The 5300 trackpad is indeed tappable, but you need a shareware app called ClickPad II to make it work that way.
A bit hard to find these days, but it's out there.
