PB G4 trackpad sensitivity

[Paul Puppo]

Hi,

My problem, on my new 12" G4 PB, is that the trackpad won't "click" at start
up. Not until I go to the pref pane and "remind" it, that, yes, it really
is set to "click" from the trackpad. After that, it's fine.

Anyone else seen this?

Thanks in advance,

Paul

have the 17" and I can tell you the touchpad is still
maddeningly over-sensitive

I'd settle for just turning off the proximity and insisting
on an actual damned touch...

Yeah, you can turn this on in the System Prefs (Mouse).
