I did it and after the restart I couldn’t use my keyboard or trackpad. Had to boot from the Install Disc and use the Terminal to copy the file back…

That’s strange. Try downloading the file again and open it with archive utility, apple’s default application for opening zip files.

very odd.. i can’t seem to unzip this? it just creates a file called AppleUSBMultitouch.kext.zip.cpgz. is it supposed to be asking me for a password somewhere? or do i need to use 3rd party program to unzip it

I saw some work done with http://wcrawford.org/2008/02/28/everytime-i-think-about-you-i-touch-my-cell/, where you can map your own gestures to keystrokes (i.e, ctrl-up arrow).

After installing this though, I noticed that the latest gestures in AppleUSBMultitouch tend to override whatever you configure.

unfortunately I don’t think that’s possible. it would be very nice though.

Great work here! I was wondering is there any way I can “remap” the four finger swipe to switch between my spaces instead of bringing up the applications list?
