Hi All,
Been using MorphOS for awile now on a mac mini, but not spent much time on it for awhile.
Just got myself a powerbook G4. All installed with morphOS and Mac OSx10.5 dual boot :)
Two Quick questions(for now) that I hope somone can help me with.
Loving have wirless at last on MorphOS :) :)
1) I cannot seem to get the right click on the trackpad to work as a right click. How do I go about doing this ? Is there a way. I cannot find a specific option in prefs like u get on OSX.
2) This is a longshot. Is there anyway of switching on and controlling the backlight on the keyboard.
Thanks All

Worked out the backlight. Just the right mouse button to go
-
Worked it out. PowerBook don't have right click. Have to use gesture or shift lick commodity

I dont like using trackpads at all and prefer wireless mouse...

Indeed it's listed as gesture, but it's the way most laptops do it today: A two finger tip does the right click.
Preferences -> touchpad. Checkmark at "gestures" "use two fingers for a richt button click".
Can't remember when I used a physical right button on a laptop for the last time. It's pretty quick and convenient, albeit a little too sensitive on MorphOS for my taste.

I don't like that option, no feel with it. I've disabled that setting, but enabled "Hold two fingers and press the touchpad button for a right button click" instead. I can live with that much better when I don't have external mouse connected (which I usually do) :)

I use mouse on most laptops. As this not main machine will probably not bother. Unless the support for modern wireless keyboards/mice from Microsoft work on morphos ?
-
I've heard few times that Microsoft's wireless devices haven't worked, but Logitech and other cheap brands have worked always here and haven't heard complaints about them either.

I got use to the touchpad while playing a game.
If the laptop is positioned correctly it is easier. I bet a lot of people are hunched over their laptops and it is awkward.

Wow, I could never get into a touchpad enough to play games with it, tho I never use laptops, I only have an old Thinkpad T41 with the big docking station for use with my EPROM burner and other old software that requires Windows 98/Windows XP and legacy ports and even there I rather use the little "mouse knob" in the middle of the keyboard instead of the touchpad haha :)
