Tech-Recipes: Macbook Air - Enable Four Finger Gestures on OS X Leopard 10.5.7

    btw, here is a link to my already configured info.plist:

    http://rapidshare.com/files/232327695/Info.plis...

    also, when applying copying the info.plist into the kext; it is easier to copy the kext to your desktop and then add info.plist into and then copy back and then repair permissions.

    Will this work for Early 2008 MBP?

    Didn't work for me with 10.5.7 and many others reporting it's not working. Whatcha talkin' bout?
  • Dave · 7 months ago
    Sorry... talking about Macbook Pro. I see you are talking about Air.

    Not working for my first gen MBA. Was fine with 10.5.6 too :(
  • Lagadu · 7 months ago
    Well, I managed to get it working by doing what I did for 10.5.6, replacing the whole .kext file. For some reason replacing just the xml file and repping permissions wasn't cutting it for me.

    worked for me as well ... didn't work with changing the plist manually ... however, replacing the whole kext will not work while it's in use (i switched to snow leopard on a second partition) ... running an early 2008 mbp btw

    How do you get Snow Leopard? I'd like to test it out.

    First try didn't work, but I had some problems with the permissions. Just lost all other multi-things like two finger scrolling and things like that, and the pointer feels like it's stuck in jam or something, will try another time otherwise, back to the backup file

    Any luck with the Macbook Pro (the model just before the unibody). I updated to 10.5.7 and it took away the 4 finger gesture

    I’ve realized now how much i’ve been utilizing this feature. It sux not having it.

    Thank you!

    finally got it to work, couldn't get the permissions to work right, what I finally ended up doing was to recover the Info.plist from my time machine backup, and now it's working again. I was going mad without it.

    Thanks allot!

    Didn't work with me either just by copying the Info.plist, I had to copy the complete .kext. Now it works again.
  • seamonkey420 · 7 months ago
    actually, the original 10.5.6 hacked .kext will work on both the mba and macbook pros w/the new version. :)

    i am going to retest doing this to the oringal 10.5.7 .kext but copy it from the original location and modify permissions. thanks for the heads up on this not fully working.
