Mac OS X | Two Finger Right Click in Leopard Beta


A lot of people have been complaining that the two finger right click in Leopard is not working. There is a very simple solution to this.

What you need:
- An install of 10.4.7 Tiger or download and extract the 10.4.9 combo update which can be found here .

NOTE***: Use pacifist extract the combo.

Step One
Open a new Finder window and navigate to your Tiger install or combo update.

Navigate to and copy these files from your tiger files to the corresponding location on your leopard install.

/System/Library/PreferencePanes/Keyboard.prefPane
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MachineSettings.framework

If you can't find the location on your leopard install simply use Go:Go to Folder command from the Finder Menu and enter the directory to go to. (ex. /System/Library/PreferencePanes)

Step Two
Click the Apple in the top left hand corner of the screen. Select System Preferences from the dropdown menu. Select Keyboard&Mouse to open their settings. Once open select Trackpad from the tabs above. Check the box next to "Place two fingers on trackpad and click button for secondary click".
