    Don't think you can do that in mac os x? I don't have it installed anymore.

    Two finger is mapped to right click in ubuntu.

    usually when you click on a trackpad mac or pc you use i finer to click the item and another one to drag the item and that's what i want as of tight now you use one finger to click on the item and you use the same finger to drag it

    bump

    what i want is for it to be mapped the same way it is on os x

    or if i can map it myself that would work as well
