YAY!!!

So here goes how you do it:

  1. Backup your MacBook!
  2. Make sure you run Mac OS X 10.5.6.
  3. Download and unzip the modified kext file.
  4. Using the Finder, navigate to System/Library/Extensions and delete the file AppleUSBMultitouch.kext Backing the file up to another harddrive isn’t such a bad idea. :-)
  5. Put the downloaded and modified kext file into the folder you just deleted the one file out of.
  6. Open up Disk Utility and repair the disk permissions. This will take some time.
  7. Restart your Mac. Enjoy full multitouch!
