To my knowledge, you can't add functionality to the trackpad hardware using drivers. To do that, you would have to add capabilities to the PMY firmware, AFAIK, a procedure that is undocmented. The problem is if you screw that firmware up (which is highly likely, since it's undocumented bytecode), you won't be able to boot your system to undo the damage, and you'd basically have to replace the main logic board in your laptop.... In other words, it's not a very good idea to try this. Later, David --------------------------------------------------------------------- David A.
